Apparently, music videos are the new mixed tape. Watch this digital love letter of sorts addressed to a girl called Anna. Set to Tanlines‘ track “Reinfo” and shot at various locals in the East Village, it’s a heartfelt lo-fi work of immense creativity. Tanlines liked it so much they made it the official video for the track. Anna is a lucky girl, we just hope she knows how lucky; has she seen the video?

If you think bongo beats and synth-sounds played by two white guys sounds like a disaster of epic proportions waiting to happen, think again — it can be done well; that is, with some stellar musicianship and finesse. Tanlines caught our attention when they opened for Julian Casablancas and their single “Real Life” has yet to leave the office iPod’s On-the-Go playlist (for all my fellow white girls that like to think they can pull off African dance, trust me, this sh*t’s the jam). They play a show tonight at Brooklyn Bowl with The Acrylics, so if Hot Chip isn’t your cup of tea come out and support two noteworthy local bands. It all starts with you, kiddies.
