tanlines: "all of me"

you cannot imagine how frustrating it is as an internationally famous music blogger to listen to hundreds upon hundreds of songs every day and not be smitten by a-one. then the "eureka!" moment occurs and you wonder, "what the hell took you so long?!" so a big heartfelt thank must be extended to tanlines who shook me from my misery. the new york duo is a band to watch this year. their debut album, mixed emotions, is aptly titled as their influences are vast and used effectively on tracks like "all of me." pre-order the album here and catch 'em on tour this spring:
