Tenniscoats We Are Everyone Vinyl

Liner notes byStephen Pastel (The Pastels). Full colour reverse-card sleeve with lyric sheet and insert.A dream come true for A Colourful Storm to be releasing an early gem byTenniscoats, a duo whose DIY spirit, boundless creativity and lust for life and collaboration has left an indelible mark. From self-releasing albums and tapes on their own Majikick imprint to meeting kindred spirits ThePastels, Bill Wells and Jad Fair in between outings for Morr Music, Chapter and Häpna, to name a few, Tenniscoats have embodied an understated determination and optimism for over two decades.A foghorn melodica, voice, fractions, fragments, nothing and everything all at once.We Are Everyoneopens out slowly, a little eerily, magic tumbles into play in well-measured rations. Meanwhile, on the cover, Saya and Ueno’s heads seem to merge into the sky as if living amongst the wisdom of the clouds. Or maybe somewhere between sleep and reality, like Ueno’s description of Tenniscoats' music.We Are Everyoneis one of those records where you almost feel engulfed in its making - you feel like you’re in the room with Tenniscoats as they push themselves to the limit, trying to make the very best record they can." – Stephen Pastel
