Tennis celebrate tonight’s launch of their latest U.S. tour with their cover of Television’s “Guiding Light” (off 1977’s Marquee Moon). The Denver duo add some weight to the fragile-but-elegant rock “ballad”, turning up the guitar amp and tweaking the pacing while keeping the romantic core of the tune intact.
