Tennis Introduce An Inner Escape Via “Forbidden Doors”

Indie-Pop duo Tennis have shared “Forbidden Doors,” the third single from their sixth studio album, Pollen, arriving this month via their own Mutually Detrimental label on Friday, February 10, 2023.

They say:

Sonically, ‘Forbidden Doors’ filled out something essential that was missing from the record. I took my time writing lyrics that fit the world without altering it. The music gave me a sense of driving away from something. Patrick and I have done a lot of that– trading one city skyline for another, releasing something to make room for what’s next.

Pollen was announced in November 2022 with the song “One Night With The Valet,” followed by “Let’s Make A Mistake Tonight” last month.

Tennis will mark the arrival of Pollen with a wide-ranging international live schedule getting underway with a two-night St. Valentine’s Day stand at London’s historic Islington Assembly Hall, set for February 14 and 15. North American dates begin March 24 at The Eastern in Atlanta, GA, and then continue through early May.
