Wah.
I'm just here, surfin it up, got the shuffle going, just havin a nice time and "It's Not the End of the World" by Le Sport pops on. I get excited. I haven't heard it in far too long. The sundrenched production, bells, New Order style bass, quirky 80's synth washes, lovely. I really hoped they would be the next great (gay?) synthpop group, ala Erasure and the Pet Shop Boys, whom they took much inspiration from. Check out "If I Was Neil Tennant's Lover" for proof. But alas, after checking their website to see what they had in the works, I saw this...
| all good things must come to an end now we let le sport go back to our fantasies where it once began.

I'm don't know what the PS says but its probably something sad. So, heres a couple of my faves, the first all too perfect for Le Sport's early exit. As usual with band breakups, I wish them the best, but can't help but wonder what they might have brought. Good luck Le Sport and thanks for the music!

Wow. I'm confused as to why I've never heard that first track before. When was it released? Anyway, thanks.
I believe it was released in early 2006.
I've never heard of these guys before this - but loving the Pet Shop Boys, and all New Order-esk rifs Le Sport is fantastic. It's sad to hear they're no more, but hearing these tracks for the first time brightened my night. :)
