Good Sport

Ryan Hizer (aka Good Sport) has created an album for the ages. Boring Magic, Good Sport’s long-awaited debut album, is a simultaneously sobering and tongue-in-cheek reckoning with age and existentialism. It was written while Hizer, who’s always been cagey about the passing of time, was feeling particularly awkward while performing and partying with people ten years his junior. He examines the discomfort all of us will inevitably feel if we stick around long enough, and he translates those sentiments through synth-pop that’s fit for after-hours bars and TV show finales; situations that evoke desperate hope even though the end has arrived. Geniously, Hizer is in on the gag, acknowledging the humor and low stakes of these seemingly grandiose emotions through snippets of lyrical dialogue and self-aware assessments. 

Boring Magic will be released July 2020 on Misra Records.
