On their sixth album, the twosome Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley aka Tennis enchant with dazzlingly beautiful electropop songs. Where in their early days they took their sound from the 60s, with Pollen we have arrived in the 80s. Slick synth melodies tumble by while vocals are beautifully draped over each other. With influences from dreampop and shoegaze, the pair puzzles together songs that unfold
… kaleidoscopically. Several times the duo takes unexpected turns, making Pollen an exciting and compelling record. The gliding guitar riffs also take you as a listener on the beautifully swaying sound of this record, which counts as a rock-solid throw from the American pair. (JvQ)more
