Tennis Brings the Goods to “Bad Girls” Video: Premiere

While the U.S. Open may be underway, music fans are excited about an entirely different kind of tennis. Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley, better known as the band Tennis, are about to drop their third album, Ritual in Repeat. Out September 9 on Communion Records, the LP blends catchy classic rock riffs with an indie pop sensibility and a dreamy lo-fi disco sound. Think: Haim’s Days Are Gone or Fleet Foxes covering ABBA.

To craft the album, the husband-and-wife duo reconnected with some of the best producers in rock — the Black Keys’s Patrick Carney, Spoon’s Jim Eno, and The Shins’ Richard Swift. While the band has worked with each of the producers before — Carney produced their 2012 album Young & Old and Eno and Swift worked on their Small Sound EP —this effort sees the band moving from their poppy doo-wop surf rock into slightly harder terrain. Moore told Relix: “It’s been a really long, arduous quest. We’ve been all over the map with the recordings and even our writing. We started off so narrow and only wrote lo-fi surf pop. Everything had a surf-beat. We only had three instruments and everything was so specific that now, as we’ve grown, we are trying to challenge ourselves and transform musically.”

On the heels of singles “I’m Callin'” and “Never Work For Free,” TIME is premiering the video for an acoustic version of their latest track, “Bad Girls.” Watch now, pre-order the album and be sure to catch the band on tour this fall.
