Its been two years since Canadian trio Sports released their self-titled debut EP, a record that showed off their range. Syntax Error is a bit psychedelic with some muffled vocals, while the cheerful guitar and synths of Castlots are compelling enough. And, of course, Fleetwood sounds like the bands best stab at Fleetwood Mac a poppy, sunny tune that might wrap its way around your head for a few days. Its doubtful the song would turn Lindsey Buckinghams head, but you cant blame Sports for trying. Two years down the road, its these songs that still makes a full-length highly anticipated. With Austra, Tumble Dry, DJ FITS. BRYDEN MCGRATH
