Tennis

Dream pop
Dream pop

Tennis is a Dream pop act. Their sound grew out of Patrick Carney, The Zombies, Brenda Lee, Broadcast and Television. Those roots explain a lot about how Tennis arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as strongboi, Barrie, Caroline Rose, Men I Trust and Beach House, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Molly Burch, Spoon, The Shins and Haim, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 28 connections around Tennis, reaching back through Patrick Carney and forward to Molly Burch. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
