The iconic mid-fi indie duo has been around for some time, slowly but surely developing their meticulous style and distinctive electro-analog sound over a decade of music. But after a three-year break to live through a noteworthy historical event, the duo has returned with an evolved aesthetic, one that seems to have changed alongside us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Fans may know that Tennis does the bulk of their songwriting on their sailboat. As whimsical as it may sound, the seafarers seem to invoke the ocean\u2019s undulations on this record like never before. Vast synth chords swell across the track like a tide lapping at the shore, with restrained yet essential instrumentation around the song\u2019s pulsing centre. This is especially noticeable on &#8220;Let\u2019s Make a Mistake Tonight,&#8221; where Alaina Moore\u2019s impassioned, &#8217;80s-anthem-style vocals punctuate sexy, brooding basslines and irresistible disco riffs courtesy of Tennis\u2019 other half, Patrick Riley.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">With that said, there are moments of <em>Pollen <\/em>that surprise in their direction, including several tracks that all but do away with Tennis\u2019 signature synths in favour of bright piano, fingered bass, acoustic guitar, and even the odd bongo drum. These are welcome departures that mesh surprisingly well with the more pop-centric numbers on <em>Pollen<\/em>\u2014particularly &#8220;Pollen Song&#8221; with Moore\u2019s Stevie Nicks-inspired vocals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">At 35 minutes, <em>Pollen <\/em>is a clear sign of Tennis\u2019 ability to edit, refine, and distill everything that sets them apart\u2014delivering an album with no trim and all energy. Each song transports us to another side of their distinctive, wistful melancholy, whether you\u2019re head banging in the club or crying in the tub.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Pollen\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/4Fk0oNk3vdmFjuTlpmKIQU?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world was a very different place on Valentine\u2019s Day 2020, the release date of Tennis\u2019 last album, Swimmer.
