Tokyo’s auroral folk popsters Tenniscoats are fragile harbingers of dark, beguiling meditations and quietly joyous, psychedelic psalms. If their first music suggested a slightly gauche take on western pop, their second album, ‘The Ending Theme’ was a halcyon, spellbinding portent of forthcoming glories. Releases ‘We Are Everyone’ and ‘Live Wanderus’ truly disclosed Tenniscoats intense, brooding, improvised force: guitars like silver, pianos like thunder, rhythms like the wind, vocals like gauze. Avidly commanded by the enchanting Saya and Takashi Ueno, Tenniscoats are assured to entirely enamour with their empyrean arias and hair-raising charms.
