Tennis has announced their new album, Face Down In The Garden, will land via their Mutually Detrimental label on Friday, April 25. The LP WAS Produced and recorded by the husband and wife duo of Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore in their Denver, CO home studio, the album is heralded by the moving first single, “Weight of Desire,” is accompanied by a music video directed by Blossom Liu and Danny Gray.

“Face Down In The Garden is our seventh studio album,” says Tennis’ Alaina Moore. “The inspiration for new work came while we were still on the road touring Pollen. We felt a clear pull to write new music, but ran up against a series of bizarre setbacks. We blew tires and lost an engine. I developed a chronic illness. We took a doomed voyage that culminated in an attempted robbery at sea. Fragments of songs that first arrived like gifts from the universe later refused to be completed. Our days were awash in major and minor crises that dragged the album out endlessly.

“Patrick and I felt out of sync with the world, as though we had been ejected from the flow of life. My response was to bury myself in my own memories. Those years weren’t easier or better, but I could make sense of them. In Face Down In The Garden, I trace the arc of my life through a series of vignettes: a first moment of connection, a conversation at a wedding, a night offshore, a tour diary. We are very excited for you to listen, and look forward to seeing you on the road this year.

The duo will embark in support of the album, starting May 16 at Las Vegas, NV’s Swan Dive and then traveling into early September. Other dates include, Minneapolis, MN’s First Avenue (May 21), Chicago, IL’s The Salt Shed (May 23), New York City’s The Rooftop at Pier 17 (June 1), Austin, TX’s Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater (June 11), and Los Angeles, CA’s famed Greek Theatre (August 20).
