Tennis Releases 'Swimmer' via Their Own Label, Mutually Detrimental

Today, the acclaimed indie-pop duo Tennis has released their highly anticipated fifth studio album, SWIMMER via their own Mutually Detrimental label. Produced by Tennis and mixed by four-time GRAMMY® Award-nominee Claudius Mittendorfer (Panic! At The Disco, Parquet Courts), SWIMMERsees the Denver, CO-based husband and wife duo of Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore elevating their distinctive pop approach to heretofore unexplored new heights, experimenting with atypical instrumentation, complex time changes, and an increased focus on lyrical storytelling fueled in part by a series of life-changing experiences that only served to strengthen their already powerful personal and creative bond. As with their 2011 debut album, CAPE DORY, and their acclaimed fourth LP, 2017's YOURS CONDITIONALLY, the new album was written largely on the sea, this time during a four-month sailing excursion in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico as well as Tennis' own Denver, CO recording studio.

SWIMMER was first heralded last November by Tennis' first new music in almost three years, "Runner." The song was joined by a colorful companion video directed by longtime collaborator Luca Venter, and inspired by Moore's love of "old musicals and all things Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Bob Fosse."

In January, Tennis released the second song from SWIMMER, "Need Your Love," via a video also shot and directed by Venter. "Runner," "Need Your Love" and a visualizer for the song "How To Forgive" are all streaming now via the official Tennis YouTube channel.

Tennis will celebrate SWIMMER with a major North American headline tour. The dates get underway February 25 at Kansas City, MO's Madrid Theatre & Café and then continue through early May. Highlights include top-billed performances at Boise, ID's Treefort Music Fest (March 27) and Atlanta, GA's annual Shaky Knees Music Festival (May 3). Support on all headline dates comes from Molly Burch.
