“Marathon” by Tennis
Gee, it’s been awhile. What is it about the summer and unlimited free time that makes me forget to sit around and waste some time? But speaking of summer, Tennis (a band that’s mad buzzin’ right now on the biggest time waster of all - the Internet) is a great band for the current season. Tennis is a married couple who bought a sailboat and spent eight months sailing around the East Coast. They wrote some songs about their experience, and the result is some terrifically catchy, instantly endearing, 1950s/60s era surf pop.
Unfortunately, they only printed 300 copies of their first 7” and it’s already sold out, but with all the buzz I’m sure they’ll print more. In the meantime, enjoy “Marathon”, which would make a great addition to any summer playlist.
