At this point of their career, Tennis can just release music and I’m comfortable knowing that it will be yet another enjoyable release from the duo of Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley. So many of the other artist that arrived during that golden age of music blogs have either lost a step or faded completely. But not Tennis, they have stayed as consistent as ever, a rare steady hand in a game full of flashes in the pan.
They released their solid new album Yours Conditionally this March via their own label Mutually Detrimental and this month they returned quickly with a new 5-song EP entitled We Can Die Happy.
Below I have shared two very delightful offerings from the EP, the very warm and Tennis-esque cut “Diamond Rings” as well as the sweet and tender “I Miss That Feeling.” Both prove once again that Tennis have no shortage of good tunes, or signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Find both songs posted below along with the bands upcoming winter dates, which include a stop at Brooklyn Steel on January 23.
