Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley met at the University of Colorado’s Philosophy Department in 2008. They eventually married and formed the band Tennis, now a staple of American indie music. For their sixth album, they’ve put their own spin on scientist Edward Lorenz’s famous proposition: ‘Could a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil cause a tornado in Texas?’ With these ten songs, the duo seek to describe small things with big consequences, transforming the butterfly effect into the ‘pollen effect’. For example, in the track ‘Gibraltar’, they contrast the minuteness of the titular region (Gibraltar is a territory of just 7 km2) with the magnitude of the singer’s fragility, who’s ’faltering’ and ’can’t speak’. Such powerful imagery suggests that Tennis’ lyrics are better described as poetry than song. The ambitious lyrics almost seem to contrast with the music, which is much lighter and breezier, though still excellently produced. Whether it’s a tender retro ballad (‘Pillow for a Cloud’) or a danceable pop track (‘Paper, Let’s Make a Mistake Tonight’), Tennis produces music that tantalises with its subtle optimism. In fact, it feels like the soundtrack to a summer beach trip, and Alaina Moore’s crystal-clear vocals only contribute to this idyllic picture. Pollen is an album with a heavy message wrapped up in a light, breezy parcel. – Nicolas Magenham
