Tanlines

"Tanlines is a Brooklyn-based production duo made up of two guys who used to be in bands you might know: Jesse Cohen from Professor Murder and Eric Emm from Don Caballero and Storm and Stress. Tanlines traffic in a hazy, organic, sundazed take on dance music, based as much on bongo ripples and springy tropical guitars as synth riffs or bass kicks. In the YouTube videos they've made for almost every one of their tracks (which you can hear on MySpace), they set chopped-up found footage to their songs, so it looks like pop culture detritus is dancing right along with them. Cohen and Emm have done remixes for people like the Tough Alliance, El Guincho, and Telepathe. They released a single on Young Turks, and they're currently recording their debut EP for True Panther." --Pitchfork
