Video: Tanlines, “Game Two”
- story Sam Hockley-Smith
Wave of the future! Tanlines just released a song that was recorded on an iPhone accompanied by a video made with Google Earth. We just watched it three times trying to figure out how they made what sounds like Gregorian chants in the middle of an all night Euro-rave at a Polish club into exactly what we want to hear at any given moment during the day.
Premiere: CFCF, “Monolith” MP3

What initially drew us to CFCF was his restraint. The way he could make instrumentals sound interesting without turning them into full blown rave-ups and the way he could capture gauzy nostalgia in his music without the sense that he’s looking back at some time he never actually lived. “Monolith” is just over seven minutes of carefully crafted (and spaced out) build, culminating in a piano line that sounds just classic enough for us to feel like we spent the entire night doing dangerous drugs in a warehouse. Good times? CFCF’s debut full-length Continent will be out at the end of October.
