I found the song playing GTA online. Some player has this on his microphone and I decide to ask him. :)

[@ambermurray2862]

Ahh I'm the type to do this too lmao very cool!!

[@ambermurray2862]

Nice ear

[@E-99x]

Damn, I remember finding them in high school from browsing KZbin. This was the first song I found of theirs, still gold. They got even better even. Better marketing too.

[@iggyhendrix4510]

This is my Red Dead online riding song lol.

[@tigdude7344]

lol i got this in my self radio too, although I stick to single player, this definitely sounds like something Michael would listen to, hoping this comes up in PS5 release! Tennis definitely deserves a spot there. (and conveniently enough, this was in 2013)

[@yogawithadriene]

Today is going to be a good day. Love the new EP guys, thank you!

[@davidnigenda9867]

Yoga With Adriene so nice reading your comment from six years ago. I'm very fond of you and Tennis music! xx

[@counterpuncher01]

This may be the most beautiful song ever written.

[@chaserach]

We want this on spotify 🙁

[@carrietruman9783]

THE PERCUSSION IS VERY GOOD IN THIS BAND

[@lupcokotevski3668]

This song is about the Bronx child prodigy and genius singer/songwriter LAURA NYRO (1947 - 1997). Nyro is probably only second to Bob Dylan as the most influential singer/songwriter of all time. She performed at Monterey Pop in 1967 along with Hendrix, The Who, Janis Joplin, aged 19. Her first 5 LP's from 1967-1971 are universally rated by critics as between brilliant or a masterpiece. She is not well known to the public as she had no hit records, but others have had massive hits with her songs. However, everybody in the music industry knows her, and she is revered as one of its greatest ever talents. Several songs have been written about her apart from Mean Streets, not including several tribute LP's. Her songs continue to be covered to this day, including by rappers and Kanye West, for example. Her music is for sophisticated ears, being technically complex and very soulful in the singing. The sublime and exquisite beauty of her music brings tears of joy to many listeners - its common among youtube comments of her songs. I discovered Laura 3 weeks ago and I'm an instant convert. She passed in 1997 from ovarian cancer aged 49.

[@luisaagudelo7782]

Thank you SO MUCH. If it wasn´t for this comment I would´ve never discovered Laura and let me tell you, she´s one of my favourite artists now. Keep up the good taste ;)

[@lupcokotevski2907]

My pleasure. I'm always on the look-out for great obscure artists from all era's and music styles.

[@lupcokotevski2907]

Just discovered another song about Laura, by the Scottish alternative rock band, the Cosmic Rough Riders, the song entitled 'Laura Nyro'.

[@MiserableOldFart]

I would class Nyro more with Joni Mitchell, and Dylan with Phil Ochs,. Though all four have great legacies, Dylan's and Ochs' music is more simple musically. Mitchell and Nyro wrote more complex music. Nyro and Ochs' of course, are the ones that have been overlooked for many years, while Mitchell, and especially Dylan are royalty. Though I appreciate all four, I would consider Nyro the greatest, and the most gifted vocally.

[@randyr.6856]

Thank you for mentioning Laura Nyro. Her music is so beautiful, it will make you cry. One of the greatest soul singers and songwriters ever. Listen to her doing her own tunes on records like Smile or all soul covers on Gonna Take a Miracle. She'll change your musical life.

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

This band is so musically innovative. I love the different instruments that just peek out for a line or two; like that harpsichord. Yes, harpsichord. What other band dares try that? Hmmm?

[@kinglito93]

Vampire Weekend

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

album/ song ?

[@kinglito93]

"M79" I think the album was self titled.

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

ok..thanks...will check them out!

[@lupcokotevski3668]

The Beatles used harpsichord on 'In My Life' back in 1966. There is nothing new in pop/rock. Brian Wilson even used a theremin on Pet Sounds.

[@AlleeKeene]

They play this at my job all the time and now I'm hooked.

[@gvaddia16]

God damn, I love coming back to a song after not listening to it for 8 years. Like a cool drink of water.

[@pabloXpandemonium]

Nothing compares to having this play on a sunny day while driving on the PCH :^)

I'll listen to this song a Million Times

[@carnieguy]

Just saw Tennis this afternoon at the Make Music Pasadena festival - they sound fantastic live! Got to fist-bump 'em after the show.

[@ludochem]

love this mix of modern indie and northern/blue eyed soul !!

[@Luigisan6969]

Damn this song

[@tomhopper4055]

This girl's got something!

[@JpBlazeMeteor]

Heard this on the radio. I'm glad I tuned in.

[@TheL0vefool]

i can listen to this all day

[@lilbabytears]

That part at 2:27 goes so hard

[@kpdelaney6460]

reminds me of Sweet Trip

[@chinaserious334]

Always!

[@kamotecake69]

When I heard them on a radio here in the Philippines, I thought they were a local band. They sound OPMish. Great new find though!

[@crizensushi]

i discovered Tennis around that time too! jam 88.3 played mean streets and immediately looked it up. instant fan right then and there.

[@PureXtasy]

Saw them live like two weeks ago with haim and they were awesome!!

[@adrianzamora3002]

I think i just found my vibe!!

[@marcomariona3944]

Her voice is very pleasent

[@counterpuncher01]

Patrick is such badass...so tasteful....just like live, you forget about him for moments, only to have him chime in in the most angelic, ghostly, romantically haunting riffs that permantenly grip you....then he disappears again:) lol......what a spectacular band....NEVER heard better. I'm 48! Tennis writes better songs than any I've heard in history. I believe the best is yet to come....this or Need Your Love are their truest masterpieces...among many competitors....Meter and Line #3

[@criticalpsyche]

cannot agree more!!!

[@sianhill8447]

This song is seriously addictive.

[@beamonicareyes]

[@xFraiziiex]

Seriously the best song of the month

[@criticalpsyche]

2:38 is so cute!!

[@micalishis]

If you look at it, they've already given us a lot of content. They've put out two amazing full LP albums in two years. That's actually pretty good. Many bands take two or three years before they put out another album. Besides, an LP will probably follow this EP.

Why put out an EP? I want a full length album! I miss the girl group/surf sound, but this sounds good.

[@Jordloopin]

Her voice sounds very similar to 80's Madonna, especially in the high pitched areas of the song. It's pleasantly surprising

[@DeadlyRamon]

I was thinking more Julianna Hatfield during the 90s. Just heard this on SiriusXM's XMU channel, which features indie rock.
