Tennis covers The Zombies

October 26, 2011 0 Comments

This past summer, Tennis treated us to a cover of Brenda Lee’s “Is It True.” Sticking with the Sixities, the same decade that informed the sound of their debut album Cape Dory, the Denver duo-turned-trio have recorded The Zombies’ 1965 #6 hit, “Tell Her No.”

Why did Tennis choose to serve up this particular free download for our fall enjoyment? “It’s been a long time favorite of ours and is the best use of a lone-clap we’ve ever heard.” Fair enough. Listen up for that highlight at 1:54:

Tennis’ sophomore album, produced by The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney, is due next early year. Read more about what the trio has in store for the follow-up to Cape Dory via Stereogum.
