Tennis
with Overcoats
What began as a way to document eight months spent living on a sailboat (seriously) has became a full-time gig for Denver couple Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley. Since 2010, Tennis has served up a dreamy, surf-tinged brand of indie pop that’s landed them everywhere from late-night television to major rock festivals to an event celebrating the music of film director David Lynch. Their next release, Yours Conditionally, drops this month. With Overcoats.

“[Ritual in Repeat] blends catchy classic rock riffs with an indie pop sensibility and a dreamy
lo-fi disco sound.”—TIME
