It's not easy to write about Tennis. Their music isn't dominated by a single instrument or sound; there's no amazing guitar or synth; no flamboyant drumming or bass guitarist. A drummer, a guitarist, and a superb vocalist and keyboardist, make up the band. If they didn't compose fantastic music, I'd say they're plain - but they show that plain can also be remarkable. Easy to listen to and a delight to show off at parties, Tennis has succeeded in sounding better over the decade I've listened to them. Their latest album may be their best, as a complete work.

The first song listed below is a sample of from their latest work; Origins, the song below that, is a classic.
