Oklahoma-bred dream pop duo, Sports, the long-lasting creative union of Christian Theriot and Cale Chronister, return with a lovely, heartfelt new single, “Keep Falling In Love.” It’s a lush meditation on how love grows and bends and flowers over time while maintaining that spark that ignited it in the first place.
“Keep Falling In Love” drags you into a soft-focus haze that is unmistakably Sports' alchemy of psychedelic warmth and light-handed pop melody, at once thoughtful and fresh. The production flutters like sunlight through sheer curtains, with synths and vocals floating between dream and devotion. It’s the sound of emotional honesty sheathed in velvet, the soundtrack to after-hours conversations and unassuming feats of everyday alchemy.
There’s a comforting familiarity in Sports’ world, but “Keep Falling In Love” broadens that world, the duo sounding more intimate and assured than ever. The song not only celebrates love, it gently studies it, tracking its fulgurations with empathy and wonder.
Creating immersive soundscapes that explore the space between retro textures and forward-thinking pop, the band has placed a premium on tone and feeling throughout their discography without sacrificing substance or songwriting. “Keep Falling in Love” is no exception, proving that Sports’ universe isn’t just one worth getting lost in, it’s also one from which we’d never want to be saved.“Keep Falling In Love” here isn’t just a single, it’s a reminder of why we return, time and again, to the same people and feelings that mold us.
