rocking.”—Time Magazine
“Their dreamy, nostalgic pop laps and recedes like waves
hitting the shore.”—The New York Times
“Toughened by garage-rock production from The Black
Keys Patrick Carney.”—Rolling Stone
“Lyrically, the album’s wider in scope, musically it’s
tighter and more muscular.”—Billboard

adding rock’n’roll muscle and a more purely pop clarity.”—Pitchfork
Denver-based Tennis will set off on their
summer U.S. tour with Sharon Van Etten starting on July 31 in Toronto including
a performance at Outside Lands, a solo date at Troubadour in
