Like their previous efforts, Highlights showcases the group\u2019s musical talent and songwriting abilities. While certain songs continue the tropical-influenced, synth-driven sound that listeners expect (as in \u201cPieces\u201d, \u201cPalace\u201d, and \u201cTwo Thousand Miles\u201d), the duo also makes use of guitar and drums in some more straightforward, rock-oriented moments on the record (\u201cInvisible Ways\u201d, \u201cBad Situations\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Despite the cool, calm, soulful and often-melancholic vocals on the album, Highlights provides plenty of bright and accessible pop tunes ideal for the summertime listener. In a record with many musical highlights (no pun intended), tracks \u201cPieces\u201d, \u201cSlipping Away\u201d, and \u201cIf You Stay\u201d are prime examples of Tanlines\u2019 ability to craft songs driven by thoughtful lyrics and sparkling musical production. Highlights is another strong, cohesive piece of work from a supremely talented duo that should leave many listeners eagerly awaiting the group\u2019s next move.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Phantogram, Starf***er, Jamie xx<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: \u201cPieces\u201d, \u201cIf You Stay\u201d, \u201cSlipping Away\u201d, \u201cPalace\u201d<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Aspen Grender on 06\/15\/2015 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tanlines continue to impress with sophomore album, Highlights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4581,"featured_media":34310,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[182,3230],"tags":[3135,3134,3133],"class_list":["post-34309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hip-hopelectronic-rotation","category-new-music-rotation","tag-album-review","tag-highlights","tag-tanlines"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/tanlines-highlights-560x560.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4581"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
