Tanlines

"Pieces" (video)

Next week, New York pop dudes Tanlines will deliver their Highlights on a new LP. The wise-cracking duo have already offered up a plethora of comedic stunts, including redesigning their website to look like Netflix and a hotline with an album stream. Up next, they've shared a new video through Funny or Die.

Though it's not without its humour, the clip for "Pieces" plays it fairly straight as the pair hoop it up on the basketball court. Ball is life for these two, though they also opt to cruise Venice Beach and mack on some ladies. It's more kitschy than funny, though it serves its purpose well as it accompanies the solid pop track. 

Highlights arrives on May 19 via True Panther Sounds. The group also have a hefty North American tour schedule, the dates of which are available below.
