Mar 22, 2012Mixed Emotions achieves what a striking debut should, offering up some strong pieces with a singular identity, while also showing that Tanlines are willing to stretch themselves a bit, even if their experimentation might lead them to some dead ends.
-
Mar 21, 2012It's hard to say what it all amounts to apart from a collection of partly-cloudy-late-afternoon-sunshine, on-and-off '80s jams.
-
Mar 15, 2012It's certainly a promising debut, just one hampered by a songwriting scope that strips it of its own vitality rather than informing it.

UncutMar 14, 2012Sometimes the union flourishes, but at times it's a grab-bag that's fallen apart at the seems. [Apr 2012, p.87]
-
May 9, 2012The scattered approach showcased on this set needs polish and original thought to develop.
-
Mar 22, 2012There's a comforting softness to the album (only occasionally broken by a stray emotion in Eric Emm's vocals or a danceable tempo) that makes it perfect background music for working away in a cubicle or relaxing after a long day.
-
Mar 14, 2012Tanlines's debut comes across as well-meaning but overly earnest, overly-invested and trying hard to do many things at once.

Jan 11, 2020Great album from top to bottom. Not the Same is the standout and most likely to be an earworm.
