Acclaimed indie-pop duo Tennis have shared "Forbidden Doors," the third single from their highly anticipated sixth studio album, Pollen, arriving this month via their own Mutually Detrimental label on Friday, February 10, 2023. Pre-orders are available now. "Sonically, Forbidden Doors filled out something essential that was missing from the record. I took my time writing lyrics that fit the world without altering it. The music gave me a sense of driving away from something. Patrick and I have done a lot of that-- trading one city skyline for another, releasing something to make room for what’s next." LISTEN TO "FORBIDDEN DOORS" PRE-ORDER POLLEN 

Pollen was announced in November 2022 with the song “One Night With The Valet,” followed by "Let's Make A Mistake Tonight" last month. Both arrived with official music videos streaming now on Tennis' official YouTube channel, and were met by immediate applause upon release. WATCH “ONE NIGHT WITH THE VALET” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO WATCH "LET'S MAKE A MISTAKE TONIGHT" OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO “New Tennis music is always cause for celebration, but even more so when their latest offering sounds like a bonus cut from the Drive soundtrack ... Make no mistake: 'Let's Make a Mistake Tonight' is a serve (tennis pun intended).” - MTV News "'Let’s Make A Mistake Tonight' is a great dose of their memorable, glittering sound that’s heavily influenced by the ’70s." - UPROXX “Tennis turns to smooth, 70s-inflected soft pop on this beautiful, pint-sized ballad, a lackadaisical early-morning mood.” - PAPER “Indie duo Tennis is coming back for our hearts... 'One Night With the Valet' teems with those ‘80s synth-pop flairs that we know and love them for, but is mellowed down to create more emotional resonance. What a way to reenter the game.” - V Magazine Tennis will mark the arrival of POLLEN with a wide-ranging international live schedule getting underway with a two-night St. Valentine’s Day stand at London’s historic Islington Assembly Hall, set for February 14 and 15. North American dates begin March 24 at The Eastern in Atlanta, GA, and then continue through early May. Highlights include shows at such legendary venues as Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club (March 29-30), New York City’s Beacon Theatre (April 1), and Los Angeles, CA’s world-famous Hollywood Palladium (April 28).

The track was featured in the closing moments of S05 E09 “Forgetting Sarick Mortshall,” the penultimate episode of the animated series’ landmark fifth season.   2021 also saw Tennis celebrating SWIMMER with their biggest North American live schedule to date, highlighted by sold-out headline shows - including two-night stands at both Los Angeles, CA’s Fonda Theatre and Brooklyn, NY’s Brooklyn Steel – as well as show-stealing festival appearances across the country.
