Cape Dory by Tennis   (5612 KB)
Listen on posterous

So many images fill my head when I listen to Tennis, and especially “Cape Dory.”  Knee length skirts, a live band, someone having way too much fun on the symbols, and driving through the New England summer in a 60s convertible with a passenger wearing these.  Sometimes Tennis definitely overuses filler sounds like “sha la la” and “whoah-ohh,” but there isn’t another band out there that can fill the niche they’ve carved out.  It’s 60s, it’s lo-fi, it’s very East Coast, but also very island-y.
