My dear north-american readers, this one goes out for you. Not because I believe you\u2019ll eat up this band like manna (although you *should*), but because this northern Portugal-based quartet was kind enough not to name itself \u201cSensible Footballers\u201d and alienate you forever; I imagine you\u2019d sit there, honey-drenched pancake in fork, pondering on why the hell don\u2019t they have any songs about Tim Tebow or any other jacked-up, helmet-welding, advertisement-darling m(a)(e)ss of a human, and upon discovering that on the other side of the Atlantic we don\u2019t care much about the Superbowl you\u2019d consider nuclear retaliation and turn one of your oldest allies (true, btw) into Europe\u2019s answer to the Sahara Desert. Emanuel Botelho, Manuel Justo, Filipe Azevedo and Hugo Alfredo Gomes go by the name Sensible Soccers, and they were born out of a very small scene that called itself, and I\u2019m literally translating it here, \u201cunemployed pop\u201d, which is a far better choice of words than \u201chypnagogic\u201d or whatever the fuck hipster musicians call what they do in their bedrooms nowadays. There\u2019s nothing \u201chipster\u201d about Sensible Soccers, though; think of them as our answer to the wonderful Disco Inferno, even if they themselves have never listened<\/em> to Disco Inferno (I asked them, they went \u201cwhat?\u201d). They\u2019ve existed for two years now and have already played in major festivals such as Milh\u00f5es de Festa and Paredes de Coura, and even played a set in Lisbon\u2019s Boiler Room<\/a>\u00a0(I\u2019ll give you a special gift if you can guess, in that video, who I am), and\u00a0you can check out their music on Bandcamp<\/a>, which, hopefully, will get you asking for more and salivating like a dog as soon as I mention that they\u2019re putting out a record later on this year. \u201cSofrendo Por Voc\u00ea\u201d (\u201cSuffering For You\u201d, and now you\u2019ll get the pun in this post\u2019s title) is the advance single, a song they have been playing live for a while now but only recently had the guts to record. It will come out as a special single on Groovement<\/a>, this very Sunday, and it\u2019s a wonderful 9-minute upbeat track about lost love, which is a very strange kind of paradox – it should be sad, miserable music, but it really isn\u2019t, and it\u2019ll put a smile on your face and possibly make your head nod to the beat. Feel free to check a live version here<\/a>, although the low sound quality doesn\u2019t make it justice, and dance away the pain of not having your beautiful red miracle kissing you right now. Maybe you\u2019ll even start enjoying footb- oh, sorry, soccer<\/em>.<\/p>\n
