Acclaimed indie-pop duo Tennis has announced their highly anticipated new album, Face Down In The Garden, arriving via their own Mutually Detrimental label on Friday, April 25. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now. Produced and recorded by the husband and wife duo of Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore in their Denver, CO home studio, the album is heralded by the moving first single, “Weight of Desire,” available everywhere now alongside an official music video directed by frequent visual collaborators Blossom Liu and Danny Gray streaming now at YouTube.   “Face Down In The Garden is our seventh studio album,” says Tennis’ Alaina Moore. “The inspiration for new work came while we were still on the road touring Pollen. We felt a clear pull to write new music, but ran up against a series of bizarre setbacks. We blew tires and lost an engine. I developed a chronic illness. We took a doomed voyage that culminated in an attempted robbery at sea. Fragments of songs that first arrived like gifts from the universe later refused to be completed. Our days were awash in major and minor crises that dragged the album out endlessly. “Patrick and I felt out of sync with the world, as though we had been ejected from the flow of life. My response was to bury myself in my own memories. Those years weren’t easier or better, but I could make sense of them. In Face Down In The Garden, I trace the arc of my life through a series of vignettes: a first moment of connection, a conversation at a wedding, a night offshore, a tour diary. We are very excited for you to listen, and look forward to seeing you on the road this year.”   WATCH “WEIGHT OF DESIRE” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO LISTEN TO "WEIGHT OF DESIRE"   PRE-ORDER FACE DOWN IN THE GARDEN VINYL PRE-SAVE FACE DOWN IN THE GARDEN DIGITAL   Face Down In The Garden marks the seventh studio album from Tennis as well as the eagerly awaited follow-up to 2023’s critically acclaimed Pollen, which earned praise from Pitchfork as “reliably vibey and genuinely inspiring.” Offsetting intuitive melodies with unusual arrangements, the new album sees the duo returning with music that both feels familiar but also resists convention. Songs like “Weight of Desire,” “At The Wedding,” and “Sister” highlight Tennis’ ever-expanding range as writers and producers, evolving beyond their girl-group roots into what is unquestionably their most fully realized effort to date.   Tennis will mark the arrival of Face Down In The Garden with a wide-ranging North American headline tour beginning May 16 at Las Vegas, NV’s Swan Dive and then traveling into early September. Highlights include such iconic venues as Minneapolis, MN’s First Avenue (May 21), Chicago, IL’s The Salt Shed (May 23), New York City’s The Rooftop at Pier 17 (June 1), Austin, TX’s Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater (June 11), and Los Angeles, CA’s famed Greek Theatre (August 20). Special guests include Husbands (May 16-17), Billie Marten (May 21-June 11), and Alice Phoebe Lou (August 18-September 4). Tickets for all announced dates go on sale this Friday, February 14 at 10:00 am (local).
