Released March 4, 2016. This Is Our Vice Tracklist. Like any game-changing record, This Is Our Vice is sprawling and complicated-and thus will challenge the band’s live performance. The members of Cub Sport realize this, and they have a plan. We’re all going to have to push ourselves a bit more, Nelson says. I sing and have started playing guitar on some songs. Zoe is going to be pretty busy, with a lot more pedals to re-create the sounds. Sam’s playing bass with one hand, all the synth parts with another hand, and does percussion and sings all at the same time somehow. Cub Sport About - Cubsport. I used to avoid writing about.

For fans of Cub Sport the anticipation for a debut LP has been palpable for some time, but few will be able to contest that it wasn’t worth the wait. The Brisbane five-piece have released some seriously catchy singles over the past three or so years, most notably the tropical indie stylings of Evie in 2011 and Told You So a year later. Mess Me Up sits in the middle of the album as a perfect centrepiece, as well a poignant testament to the development of the band’s sound. It’s a softer tune featuring some deeply intense and melancholic vibes curated by Nelson’s almost incredibly melodic falcetto. There was definitely a danger heading into its release that This Is Our Vice would be all-too-familiar, and that Cub Sport would fall into the trap of sticking too close to the simple aspects of their style that made their previous singles so popular. Instead, by following the lead of Tim Nelson’s outstanding and ate vocals, they’ve created a record that while admittedly doesn’t shatter expectations, certainly hits its mark as a diverse indie-pop record with nods back to synth pop landscape of decades gone.

After a pair of EPs, Cub Sport matured - both in lyrics and songcraft - on This Is Our Vice. With more electronic flourishes and a funkier vibe than their past efforts, the album shimmers, injecting tropical dance elements into its indie rock backbone. Produced by John Castle (Megan Washington, Vance Joy), This Is Our Vice opens and closes with a glimmer, a brightness borne of their sunny hometown, Brisbane.
