SPORTS know this, which makes Drama King less about jealousy and more about the exhausting gap between what you claim and what you actually feel.
The Oklahoma duo wraps their insecurity in jittery synths and elastic rhythms that feel like a phone game someone plays to avoid confronting real emotion.
