With this feeling being aided by the relaxing ease of listening to Alaina Moore’s retro voice – something that’s at it’s best in the distant echoness of ‘ Island Music’.ĭespite the similar back story, Yours Conditionally isn’t a direct circle back to their first album. Several tracks on the album have this breezy, Hawaiian blissfulness that imagines the duo sitting on the bow of their boat with their legs dangling just above the blue. However, Yours Conditonally isn’t filled with boating terms like their debut Cape Dory but the trip is significant in giving the group the daring mentality to set themselves free and do whatever they feel is right, without caring about pleasing everyone. “ Follow me into the sweet fields of blue, moving right into deliver you” is a line on track 3 that’s straight from their shipping log. They began sailing again (as they did when they first became musicians) and it is here that they felt free again.
Vocalist and principle songwriter Alaina Moore and guitarist Patrick Riley started to feel suffocated by the meddling suits of the music business who dictated a lot of the decisions of the second and third album and decided it was time to return to the vast open space of inspiration that breathed air into their first album. It hints at the content within their fourth album Yours Conditionallyand the interesting approach that the husband-and-wife team had to their new release. The advertisement is full of sarcastic humour and is a social commentary on both feminism and the money-making side of the record industry. This is the first thing that one observes when they visit the official website of chillwave-indie-pop duo Tennis. It’s an infomerical stylized straight from the seventies with a touch of QVC convincing shoppers to pick up their cord-attached phone and buy the must-have album without hesitation and before it’s too late. A blonde model flaunts a new record with exaggerated arm movements and facial expressions.
