The record is the subject of early praise from NPR’s “Weekend Edition,” Interview Magazine, W, New York Magazine and many more:
[image error]“Tennis thrives in isolation on Yours Conditionally.”
[image error]“Filled with melodies that evoke ’70s AM radio, [Yours Conditionally] sees them wrestle with the conditions of love and commitment. Their story and music remain romantic, but one’s reminded that while they’re ‘in it together,’ they’re also wholly individual.”[image error]“[Yours Conditionally] is less a product of crashing waves and more the result of Moore’s ongoing meditation on how she defines herself in relation to those around her and, as a self-professed feminist, how she navigates contemporary definitions of femininity and gender roles within a monogamous relationship.”[image error]“Your new favorite chill-wave escape.” [image error]“[‘Modern Woman’ is] gloriously, perfectly, very Tennis. The treatment of Alaina’s cushiony, layered vocals, the ’70s sparkle that's evident in the music…Tennis, it’s lovely to have you back.” [image error]“[‘Modern Woman’ is] a haunting, echoey ode to womankind.” [image error]“[‘In the Morning I’ll be Better’ is] a harmony-laden declaration of devotion.”“Moore’s voice is as melodious as ever, and the song [‘Ladies Don’t Play Guitar’] itself has that classic Tennis pep in its step. It’s perfect for catching sun on the high seas, but is also much needed social commentary on the expectations placed on female musicians.”
[image error]“The new record includes the lovely advance track ‘Ladies Don’t Play Guitar,’ as well as opener ‘In the Morning I’ll Be Better’ and the dreamy, dizzying ‘Modern Woman’…like ‘Ladies Don’t Play Guitar,’ ‘Modern Woman’ is a mannered, sarcastic meditation on womanhood, delivered with a dose of melancholy sincerity.” The new record was composed both on land and at sea during a five-month sailing trip through the Sea of Cortez. Upon returning, Tennis’ husband-and-wife team of Patrick Riley andAlaina Moore self-produced the record in a small cabin in Fraser, CO. It was mixed by Spoon’s Jim Eno at Public HiFi.The group recently premiered the video for the track “In The Morning I’ll Be Better” at Noisey (watch it at http://bit.ly/2h2LuZv) as well as the video for “Modern Woman” at W Magazine(watch it at http://bit.ly/2kSWJ57).Tennis is currently on tour throughout North America in support of the record. In addition to newly added dates including performances in Kansas City, Austin, Dallas, Houston and Indio, CA for Coachella, the band will be joining Spoon on tour in late April and May; see below for a list of shows.Now based in Denver, Moore and Riley began writing music together as a way to document the history of their time living aboard a sailboat. The result was their first release, Cape Dory.Moore and Riley followed Cape Dory with Young and Old, which The New Yorker described as “winsome as it is ebullient” and debuted #1 on Billboard’s Heatseeker Chart and #1 onCMJ Top 200, where it remained for three straight weeks. The album also debuted on Soundscan’s “New Artist Chart” at #1, remaining there for nine consecutive weeks. Their newest record comes on the heels of the group’s most recent release, 2014’s Ritual in Repeat, which received rave reviews from The New York Times, NPR’s “All Things Considered” and “Fresh Air,” TIME, Vogue, Pitchfork, The FADER, Entertainment Weekly and many more. The band has performed on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Conan” and “Last Call with Carson Daly.”
