Tanlines is a Brooklyn (where else?) duo that has paved their way by making a few really great remixes to promote their originals. Since they're playing tonight at Brooklyn Bowl, this serves as warning of what you're going to wake up feeling like you missed Saturday morning (today is Friday for those keeping score). Remixes of Au Revoir Simone and (Minneapolis-based) Solid Gold aren't get-famous-quick choices, but this track record is golden. My favorites are "A New Chance" originally by The Tough Alliance (buy), and Solid Gold's "A Matter of Time." You probably recognize the captivating hook from the former, but these are radical (read: rad) changes to each of these songs that makes them instantly more grown-up. The Doppler-effect vocal harmony of "A New Chance" should have been on top of pulsating synths and a big bass line in the first place, instead of the acoustic guitar/piano combo that The Tough Alliance chose; the original feels like a steel drum beach song. Soundtrack your weekend with this rapturous "I know a place where diamonds never fade away aaahhhhHHHHHAAAAaaaaaahhhHHHHHAAAaaaahhh."
