The Brooklyn duo Tanlines recorded their second album in a church with Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor, and Highlights sounds like a legitimate pop record.
Highlights is sold at face value. It delivers on its promises, shining neon onto Tanlines’ tested formulas, dropping beats in the most generic way possible.
On their sophomore album, Tanlines go for a more downtempo and laid-back version of breezy synth-pop than the did on their debut. "Highlights" is a decent effort, and definitely more compelling listen than "Mixed Emotions".
