“Modern Woman” and the song’s unabashed desire for comfort and emotional connection turns previous tracks’ portrayals of emotional dependence on its head.

“Ladies Don’t Play Guitar” speaks to the notion that women’s personalities are changeable dependent upon their partner’s, with Moore crooning “ Maybe we can play pretend/ Baby I can go down deep just to be what you’re needing” and later, even more directly, “ I can be the archetype of whatever you’re feeling.” The final run-through of the chorus includes the more self-determined “ In the end I decide how much my love can bend,” ultimately giving this character some autonomy. “ Binary opposition/ Hits me like a divine plan,” Moore coos early on in the track, later stating “ I’m just a vehicle/ For the material” and “ I get hysterical/ It’s empirical.” Binary as divine plan is witty enough on its own but pared with this parroting of sexist stereotypes makes the track an intriguing satire.īut that latent irony is characteristic of several tracks, playing up women’s subservience while dragging the concept down with internal commentary. Case in point is “My Emotions Are Blinding,” a sultry blend of funky beats, a circular guitar line and sweet, layered vocals from Moore. But Moore’s approach to even the most clichéd heartbreaker reveals an astute eye and wry lyricism. Titles like “In the Morning I’ll Be Better,” “My Emotions Are Blinding,” “Matrimony” and “Please Don’t Ruin This for Me” are fairly direct, in some cases cliché. Given the pointed title of this fourth album, relationships play a large part in the themes of these 10 songs.

On Yours Conditionally, they stick to what they do best, with the end result highlighting Moore’s now-seasoned songwriting and assured, soulful vocals. Riley and Moore are fully aware that their music is rooted in glistening keys, dreamy guitar lines and a ’60s pop vibe. Musical growth and evolution doesn’t always mean reworking your personal style nor does it mean reacting against what you’ve come to be known for. Luckily for husband/wife Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore, that’s hardly a criticism of their latest release, Yours Conditionally. Tennis’ particular brand of dream pop hasn’t evolved all that much across four albums.
