It's been like summer the past few days so it's maybe been time to ditch (a little) of the doom-pop in favour of something more suitable of the weather (whilst it lasts). In 2010 that meant reaching for the nearest Beach House CD, this year might belong to husband and wife duo Tennis, whose LP 'Cape Dory' is on my short-list of favourite releases this year (although it's only out in the States thus far, with a UK release to follow on the pair's newly setup label Carmen San Diego planned in May).
It's perfect music for a bit of sun, a cute collection of lo-fi and dreamy tracks. I gave it 8.0 / 10 back in January, with the sun in your eyes and wind in your sails it's probably even better than that.
Here we have a couple of lovely videos of the band doing a couple of sessions, firstly Soundcheck, you can listen to the full fifteen minute session / interview here.
This one is the title track (and name of their boat) "Cape Dory" from a wonderful KEXP session, this is one of the three videos, find the others here, amazing quality and look nice in full screen too!
I'm not done yet, if like me you are a live music nut, head over to the best site on the Internet for live recordings nyctaper for a full 45 minute set from Tennis which is quite wonderful containing most of the tracks on the album and more.
