California’s rising indie-pop trio almost monday have just dropped the official music video for their latest single, "she likes sports," and it’s everything you’d want in a summer anthem.
Directed by the talented Sam Kristofski, the video is a playful, sun-drenched visual that perfectly encapsulates the carefree vibe of a West Coast summer. In the video, the band is seen performing and enjoying a laid-back tennis match, a nod to the song's origins.
“We were just messing around in the studio, taking breaks to play tennis,” says almost monday about the inspiration behind "she likes sports." “We weren’t overthinking it, just having fun with the track and lyrics. It ended up becoming this quirky, head-turner of a song that we absolutely love.”
The result is a feel-good indie tune with an infectious energy, poised to become the soundtrack of many festival seasons ahead.
The release of "she likes sports" sets the stage for almost monday’s highly anticipated debut album, ‘DIVE,’ slated for release on September 25th. The album drops just as the band embarks on their UK/EU tour with The Driver Era, kicking off in Lisbon, Portugal, on September 14th. The tour includes six UK dates, with a major stop at London’s Eventim Apollo, and wraps up in Oslo, Norway, on October 27th. Fans can also catch them at Manchester’s Neighbourhood Festival on October 5th.
Hailing from the sunny shores of San Diego, almost monday has quickly built a reputation for their catchy melodies and DIY spirit. Their upbeat, transatlantic indie sound draws from their coastal roots and the vibrant SoCal music scene, but they have a universal appeal that fans of artists like Good Neighbours, Declan McKenna, and Dayglow will appreciate. Having toured with heavyweights like Kings of Leon, Joywave, and The Regrettes, and recently wrapping up a US tour with AJR and mxmtoon, the trio has been steadily gaining momentum.
With the release of "she likes sports" and the upcoming ‘DIVE’ album, almost monday is setting the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable journey in the indie music world. If their latest single is any indication, this Californian trio is ready to dominate playlists and stages around the globe.
