Brooklyn duo Tanlines showed both sides of their musical persona to a packed house at the Echoplex on Monday night — the electro-pop side displayed on their first album “Mixed Emotions” in 2012 and the more guitar-driven music on their new album “Highlights.” The duo of Jesse Cohen and Eric Emm, backed by a full […]
Monday night madness: ► Lana Del Rey and Courtney Love, teaming up for “The Endless Summer Tour,” play the Hollywood Bowl. ► With their debut album, “My Love Is Cool” due in late June, U.K. rockers Wolf Alice [pictured below] headline the Roxy Theatre, supported by Gateway Drugs. Above, Wolf Alice’s video for “Giant Peach.” […]
Tanlines are a whole lot better at making ’80s mope-pop than they are at shooting hoops, as their new video for “Pieces” indicates.

April departs with a busy Monday: ‣ Remember when guitar bands had platinum records? Eve 6 does. The L.A. pop-punk trio was selling records in droves before they were old enough to drink, but in 2004 after a platinum album (1998’s “Eve 6”), a gold record (2000’s “Horrorscope”) and a disappointing third album (2003’s “It’s […]
The music of Tanlines – the pairing of singer-keyboardist Eric Emm and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Cohen – finds a lightsome spot in the nooks and crannies of ’80s revivalism, or at least one illuminated by a disco ball. Subtle polyrhythms, bouncy synths, swooping melodies – their album “Mixed Emotions” (out last week via True Panther) is enough to […]
