Tennis - Yours Conditionally

Story

“Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don’t have any surface noise. I said, “Listen, mate, life has surface noise.” - John Peel

That surface noise is one of the warm, fuzzy charms of analog recordings that aficionados, recording artists, and turntable enthusiasts alike treasure about vinyl — Tom Waits even went so far as to record sizzling bacon and add it to digital tracks to capture a semblance of the often-imitated-never-duplicated feel of vinyl. Whether it’s a warm summer night with the windows wide open or a chilly winter evening with the fire going, we love having a few friends over, serving up some drinks, and starting up the turntable with the sounds of our favorite records.

Why We Love Vinyl

• Unique packaging produced just for vinyl, including the album cover, sleeve, inserts, and records
• Superior lossless audio quality compared to digital formats
• Interactive, engaged listening experience — from choosing the record from your bin to dropping the needle to flipping the record
• Owning the physical copy of the music rather than a digital file, plus most vinyl comes with a digital download included for on-the-go listening

About This Record

The thrill of Yours Conditionally is how Alaina’s songwriting growth and strength, the band’s label turmoil, the gnarly sailing trip, the band's influences -- Carole King, Judee Sill, Laura Nyro -- and the taking-back-the-reins of their art all converge to make this feel like the definitive Tennis album. We don’t know if Yours Conditionally will launch Tennis up into some stratosphere, to some unobtainable success level they haven’t reached before. We don’t even know if this is the best album they’ll ever make. But we do know that the sense that Tennis are going all-in on this album is palpable, and going all-in with Tennis was a no-brainer for us. - VMP
