Bouncing, sleeping, dancing and working each would thrive peacefully when paired with the Sneaker Pimps’ new album, “Bloodsport.”

The offering consists mostly of edgy, beat-driven trip-hop. It never gets too intense or too mellow.

The four-man English band brought in two female singers to accent two songs apiece. This might reflect the absence of former lead Pimp Kelli Dayton, who is no longer in the band.

Frontman and guitarist Chris Corner attracts the most attention among the selection on “Bloodsport.”

The album’s first single, “Sick,” is backed by a heavy, melodic beat that perseveres. The strong presence of keyboard player Liam Howe mirrors his nearly equal songwriting involvement with Corner.

The fifth track, “Loretta Young Silks,” is probably the record’s best tune. It starts with a driving electronic stab that melds with a glowing electronic riff from bassist Joe Wilson. The song is pretty psychedelic, whether it was intended or not. Corner’s vocals are powerful and emotive.

“Soft-focus for full appeal, pictured as flawless/ No context for self-esteem, I’d be pushed to give you love on that/ As far as the eye can see, too much perfection/ Pure substance for wannabes keeps you beating to a click track heart.”

The album’s lyrical content is perhaps its most interesting feature.

On the trashy, creepy “Blue Movie,” Corner gathers his thoughts: “Mind willing and her body weak/ She’s a star in a galaxy of real go-fars/ I’m the boy on all the girls/ Taking off their Bible belts/ Soiled doves on self-destruct/ And I can see how Jesus felt.”

In all, the Sneaker Pimps have a fairly well-defined sound that’s upbeat and punchy. There’s a large electronic influence, but the songs are guitar-based rock at their cores. Drummer David Westlake works well in the background to steer each tune into the beat it drives.

On two of the tracks with guest female vocalists (Zoe Durrant on “Kiro TV” and Sue Denim on “Grazes”), the band sounds at home. It’s no surprise some fans are angry that the band allegedly kicked Dayton out. She’s what’s needed to truly complete the sound of the Sneaker Pimps.

“Bloodsport” won’t change the world, but it will comfort when needed. The album isn’t perfect, as there are a couple of songs to skip. But its dark sound will soothe via musical massage, if you let it.
