Indie-pop duo Tennis has unveiled ’12 Blown Tires,’ a personal tale from their forthcoming—and final—album, Face Down In The Garden, out April 25 via their own label, Mutually Detrimental.
Written during a moment of literal and emotional breakdown on a cross-country tour, ’12 Blown Tires’ captures the disorienting highs and lows of life on the road and the tangled threads of a creative and romantic partnership. The track distills the past 15 years of shared memories between Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley into a four-minute reflection that feels like both a love letter and a farewell.
Moore says:
“On a cross-country drive at the end of tour, our van and trailer blew four tires in quick succession. That particular stretch of highway was a tire graveyard. I counted the shredded remains of twelve tires from where we sat on the side of the road, swapping out our last spare… It felt like the end of something, though I wasn’t sure what.”
