Fifty-word review
Tanlines takes more cues from Depeche Mode and Peter Gabriel than from the Republic of Zaire, so let’s not go overboard with the “Afropop-influenced” critical gestures. But the boys have excellent taste, wonderfully intricate beats, sunshiny guitars, and vocals that fuse emotional impact and Eurotrashy world-weariness in equal measures.
