Tennis “Young & Old” In Stores February 14

If Tennis’ debut album, Cape Dory, was a narrative of a specific time and sensation, the Denver group’s follow-up, Young and Old, is its antithesis. The new disc, recorded in Nashville with Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, embraces a grander landscape of ideas and feelings, revealing a riskier, looser version of the band. Young and Old is in stores on February 14. You can pre-order the album now at the FP Store.

NPR Music charted them as their #7 most favorite live show after seeing them at CMJ in October and named them “Discovery of 2011” in their year-end edition of All Songs Considered.
