When you put together the sympathetic production, the strength of the songs, and the power of the performances, it adds up to another great record by a band whose members are in complete command of their thoughtful, tender, and sneakily hooky sound

Ritual In Repeat isn’t going to catapult Tennis into the mainstream, but this is the boldest album yet from a band who are in complete command of their sound
