Tennis experiment with pace on new single "Need Your Love"
Tennis are back with new single "Need Your Love", the second single to be lifted from their forthcoming fifth album SWIMMER.
"Need Your Love" lands after November's lead single "Runner".
Speaking about the new release, Tennis' Alaina Moore says, ""Need Your Love" is rooted in anger. I usually deny myself the emotion, but the music demanded intensity from me and I had a lot to be angry about at the time. I was letting go of unhealthy relationships - trying to find healing without closure. The song turned into an emotional purge. We used sparse instrumentation and tempo changes to reflect the isolation and relentlessness of my mental state. Despite all the heaviness, writing this song was a joyful experience. The music was resilient enough to handle our wildest ideas and we indulged every whim. It's my favorite song Patrick and I have written."
SWIMMER will be Tennis' first collection of tracks since their 2017 EP We Can Die Happy.
The record is produced by Tennis, and mixed by four-time Grammy Award-nominee Claudius Mittendorfer (Panic! At The Disco, Parquet Courts).
It was written between their home studio in Denver and a four-month sailing trip in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico.
Tennis' upcoming LP will be the duo's first since 2017's Yours Conditionally.
