Nashville indie rock quartet The Medium released their third album last year, entitled City Life<\/em><\/a> (about city life as a call for a better world), which they now follow up with the Sports!<\/em><\/a> EP (about playing team sports, a musical exploration of American boyhood). Opening track Feel The Dream<\/em> has everything to become a huge hit, from killer hooks and an earworm melody to distinctive vocals and an exciting match report. The other three songs here are also worthy, with lyrics that encourage to think about what this universal theme actually means for people, but this release scores even higher musically\u2014proggy power pop in which a lot happens, like in a good game.<\/p>\n
