Gum Country implore you to find what makes you happy on “Tennis (I Feel OK)”
Made up of Courtney Garvin of The Courtneys and multi-instrumentalist Connor Mayer, Los Angeles-via-Vancouver duo Gum Country have released “Tennis (I Feel OK)” as a paean to finding your passion.
Everyone’s got just the right advice for this particularly unique circumstance: Write that screenplay, pick up yoga, organise the bookshelf, learn to cook - like really cook, not heat. Do everything you’ve been meaning to do, and do them now. But sometimes the best advice is the simplest: do what makes you feel happy. It’s what Gum Country do their best to capture on their admittedly “goofy” new single, “Tennis (I Feel OK)”.
This marks the second single the band has released this year, a follow-up to “Somewhere”, a far spacier take on Gum Country’s brand of digitised surf-rock, and a precursor to their debut full-length, also called Somewhere, out next month.
“Tennis (I Feel OK)” is bubbling with fuzzed-out glee - a charming post-punk jaunt of rhythm and mood that captures Garvin’s appreciation for tennis as a personal form of meditation. “The game makes you present, you're repeating movements, and finding a rhythm. And it’s so creative,” she says. “If anyone reading this wants to play (after the pandemic) please hit me up."
