The leading lady of Tennis talks music, style, and her biggest inspirations.
We wrote much of our last album while voyaging in the Sea of Cortez on our 30-foot sailboat. We lived in little coves and fishing villages for nearly five months. On this album, we wrote ourselves free from the expectations of an industry that hounded us for radio singles and increasingly clever release strategies. I wrote simple and sincere songs about my inner world, reflections on womanhood, marriage, my relationship to the world. It was extremely cathartic.
When a song works it has an ineffable quality of completion. Not perfection, but completion. I always strive for that in a song, though it eludes me all the time. I have a complicated relationship with performing because I see myself more as a writer than an entertainer, and never feel totally at home onstage. My goal with a performance is always to do the songs justice, and show my most vulnerable, truthful self to the audience. I have no stage persona.
Now my insane hair is kind of like the set piece to all of our visuals and I style everything around it.For your music videos and stage performances, how do you creatively collaborate?We are both involved at every level. It is important that we both feel heard, creatively fulfilled, and equally carry our own weight. The easiest path to resentment is to feel like one of you is working harder than the other. That’s something we are always wary of.
