Tennis
Young & Old
If Camera Obscura fans feel like they have waited too long for a new album, Tennis appear to have stepped in to fill that particular gap in the music market with their own blend of romance, nostalgia, spangly guitars and general low-key loveliness.
There was lots to like about last years 'Cape Dory' with the album’s Sixties shimmer and C86 shuffle.
On its follow-up, Young & Old, Tennis are as happy-go-lucky and referential as before, but repeated listens reveal that they’ve now got much more melodic meat for you to sink your teeth into.
At first, Young And Old seems as pretty-but-plain as Cape Dory but eventually you start to appreciate the little tricks that Tennis play, which turn their jangly rock and pop standards into something far more seductive.
