Exposed To The Extreme

Tennis “Petition”

Tennis’ previous album was wistful and slight – pleasant but not especially memorable. Their second record, Young and Old, is far more substantial, with deeper bass and louder, more present percussion serving as a steady foundation for better, more assertive songs. “Petition” is the best one, and the one that pushes Alaina Moore’s voice furthest into blue eye soul. This sound works well for them – they’ve made a lot of their life of leisure (sailing, sailing, sailing), and these buttery harmonies are a much better expression of their “comfort pop” aesthetic.
