AUDIO: Dear Me – “Go Sports!”
Dear Me and Gobo have dropped their latest EP, “Go Sports!” — a brooding, mid-tempo offering that lives in the heart of Midwest emo.
With moderate energy levels and a relatively understated danceability, “Go Sports!” leans more toward atmosphere than movement — this isn’t designed to fill a dance floor, but rather one built for late-night headphone sessions or quiet contemplation. The ironic, tongue-in-cheek title hints at a sharp wit beneath the surface, suggesting Dear Me isn’t afraid to play with expectations.
The release signals a compelling artistic voice developing within Milwaukee’s growing music scene. Dear Me appears focused on crafting well layered music that prioritizes mood and texture over immediacy, which could help carve out a distinctive niche in an increasingly crowded indie landscape. “Go Sports!” is the kind of track that might not grab you immediately, but lingers long after the final note fades — a promising sign for an artist clearly playing the long game.
