Tennis’ “Mean Streets” Gets Wild Belle Remix
TENNIS’ “MEAN STREETS” WILD BELLE REMIX PREMIERES ON BAEBLE MUSIC
RITUAL IN REPEAT DELUXE EDITION FEATURING BONUS TRACKS OUT MAY 12 ON COMMUNION RECORDS
ON TOUR NOW, DATES SELLING OUT NATIONWIDE
The Wild Belle remix of Tennis’ new “Mean Streets” is premiering on Baeble Music. Baeble Music says the track “is a beautiful piece of synthy dreampop.” The original version of “Mean Streets” appears on the deluxe edition of Ritual In Repeat, available May 12 on Communion Records, and features bonus tracks “Easter Island” and “100 Lovers.”
To celebrate the release, the band is out on a run of intimate tour dates across the U.S. and have already played sold out shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco and their home town of Denver. The pair will be playing two sold out shows in New York City on May 13 at the Music Hall of Williamsburg and May 16 at Mercury Lounge.
For the album, the band worked in three separate cities with three well-known producers. They returned to Nashville to work with Patrick Carney (The Black Keys) on five of the album’s tracks including “Never Work For Free.” They also worked with Jim Eno (Spoon) in his Austin Studio on “Bad Girls” and Richard Swift (The Shins) in Portland, who collaborated with the band on four songs including “Timothy.”
Tennis is Denver couple Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley. The duo began writing music together as a way to document the history of their time living aboard a sailboat. The result was their first release, Cape Dory. Moore and Riley followed Cape Dory with Young and Old, which The New Yorker described as “winsome as it is ebullient,” and debuted #1 on Billboard’s Heatseeker Chart and #1 on CMJ Top 200, where it remained for three straight weeks. The album also debuted on Soundscan’s “New Artist Chart” at #1 remaining there for nine consecutive weeks. The band performed on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Conan” and “Last Call with Carson Daly.”
