Tennis is Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley. The two met in the philosophy department at the University of Colorado in 2008 after dropping out of their respective music programs. In the years after graduating, they got involved in Denver’s DIY music scene. Through house shows, they were connected with Underwater Peoples and Firetalk. The band went blog-viral nearly overnight, landing them a record deal with Fat Possum and then Communion Records, but with shifting labels and new interests, Tennis chose an alternate path for their band and career. In 2016, Moore and Riley formed the label Mutually Detrimental and began self-releasing. They haven’t looked back since, going on to release Yours Conditionally (2017) and Swimmer (2020). Pollen, their sixth album, was produced and recorded by Riley and Moore in their home studio in Denver, Colorado. It was released 2/10/2023 and is available here on limited edition green colored vinyl, standard golden colored vinyl, and CD.
