Sporting Life: Tsunami

Sporting LifeSan Francisco dream-rock group Sporting Life released their full length LP, Rivalry, in January of which the excellent 2 minute surf-drenched first single, Tsunami, was picked for our feature on the Dose today.

The eleven tracks on Rivalry offer a tour of the band’s influences, from Tangerine Dream-inspired piano lines to a certain feeling of punk rock indignation, and back around to a Jesus and Mary Chain-esque layering of feedback and fuzz. The album was recorded in the band’s studio in San Francisco’s industrial Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood and mixed by Phil Manley of Trans Am at Lucky Cat Studio.

Noted Influences: Echo & The Bunnymen, Ride, Pavement, Galaxie 500
