Calypso electronic pop band Tanlines were one of my favourite musical discoveries of 2010. Their Settings EP was a constant, ‘Real Life’ is still regularly played at DJ sets and a subsequent collection of material Volume On tied up their recordings so far into a two disc collection.
Great news for me today so. Tanlines will release their debut album Mixed Emotions on True Panther on March 20th in the US. ‘Brothers’ is the first track from it and features the duo’s biggest strength – the combination of bouncing percussion and rhythm with singalong vocals. Love these guys.
