Indie-pop duo Tennis—made up of husband and wife team Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore—are based in Denver, Colo., but “based” is a relative term when it comes to these two musicians, who split their time between land and sea. They wrote the majority of both their 2011 debut albumThen, a four-month sailing trip in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico, resulted in their next project, Tennis’ fifth album, which is out on Valentine’s Day , 2020, the band announced Friday.
Tennis sound fresh as ever on “Runner,” a romantic, groovy synth explosion that puts Moore’s soprano on full display. Moore described the song’s seaside writing process in a statement: “Runner” is the first song we wrote for our fifth record. It began as a guitar riff Patrick recorded while we were living off grid, anchored in a fisherman’s cove called San Juanico. The only instruments we had on board were an acoustic guitar and a drum sequencer, but the limitations seemed to work in our favor. Until that point we had no clear vision for our writing. The demo Patrick recorded that day outlined our future, the first contours of our next record.
As per the usual, Tennis emphasizes aesthetic with this release. The “Runner” video has a forward-moving feel to it as Moore, clad in various ’70s-inspired silk suits, continuously sashays towards the edge of the frame. The pair dances around what looks like a vintage photo studio before Moore ascends above a starlit treeline. Then, the clip concludes with a passionate make-out session between husband and wife. We’ll give these two some space.
