Eric Emm News Today

On their first new album since 2015, the onetime Brooklyn indie darlings turn definitively toward dad rock.

Next month, Brooklyn duo Tanlines are set to return with The Big Mess, their first new album in eight years. The band members’ lives have changed a lot since they released 2015’s Highlights, but they still know how to crank out chugging, instantly likable indie rock jams. We’ve already posed the early tracks “Outer Banks” and “Burns Effect,” and now Tanlines have also dropped the new album’s title track.

'The Big Mess' is out 5/19 via Merge.

Eight years after Tanlines' last proper album, the synthpop duo has returned with this clear-eyed, reflective track.
