American indie-pop duo, Tennis, dropped their new single “How To Forgive,” which will be featured on their fifth studio album, SWIMMER. The upcoming album will be released on Feb. 14 through the duo’s very own label, Mutually Detrimental.
The song starts off with a mellow synth and shallow beats. Singer, Alaina Moore, sings delicately as she dances in slow motion; cool colors are flashing around her, as the music video is set in an ’80s theme.
As the song and video progresses, clips of guitarist, James Barone, are shown. His side profiled face is staring into the distance are red and blue lights are bouncing off his vintage bowl-cut.
“How could I disguise the way that I’m feeling?” Moore sings. “I’ve got my reasons; I could give you a million.”
As the song creeps to the end, Moore is shown dancing to the up-beat synth and warm beats. Barone stares in awe as the video and song fade away.
SWIMMER is currently available for preorder. Each preorder is granted free download of “How To Forgive” and their previously released song “Need Your Love.”
Tennis is set to head out on their 2020 North American headline tour on Feb. 25 at the Madrid Theatre & Café, in Kansas City, MO. They will be concluding their tour on May 9, at the Delmar Hall, in St. Louis, MO. Tickets are available at Tennis’ website.
