Loner Tennis Club has officially unveiled their latest project, a six-track EP titled 'Modern Rituals,' released through the Loners record label. The collection arrives as a comprehensive exploration of sound, available now across both digital and vinyl formats.
The EP’s narrative arc is meticulously crafted, designed to mirror the emotional and sonic progression of a night out. It begins with the high-octane energy of the opening track, 'Energy,' which features a compelling collaboration with vocalist Duppy. This track, which served as the project's lead single earlier this spring, sets a driving tone that eventually gives way to more reflective, late-night atmospheres as the EP unfolds.
Musically, 'Modern Rituals' occupies a sophisticated space at the intersection of modern UK garage and house music. The production is characterized by rolling drum programming, steady breaks, and driving basslines. A standout element of the EP is the integration of field recordings captured in Sri Lanka, which provide a unique, hypnotic, and organic texture to the club-ready rhythms.
Loner Tennis Club has built a distinct reputation for their ability to fuse driving electronic rhythms with a sense of atmospheric, future-garage melancholy. This latest body of work serves as a natural evolution of that sound, following a successful series of single releases throughout March and April, including 'Overnight Shift' and 'Above.' The EP is available now for streaming and download. You can listen to the project via the player below:
