Tanlines Compile <i>Volume On</i>, Set Sights on Debut LP

BY Alex HudsonPublished Oct 21, 2010

Brooklyn electronic duo Tanlines have built up an impressive buzz with a steady stream of low-key releases over the past couple of years. With a smattering of remixes, EPs and singles, it's hard even for dedicated fans to keep track of all the band has done. This winter, Tanlines will do their followers a favour by compiling the bulk of their previously released work — plus a handful of new songs — on a double CD set entitled Volume On.

Among the cuts that appear on the 18-song collection are the six tracks from the Settings EP, a remix by Memory Tapes, and a handful of alternate mixes. You can see the full tracklist below, plus the album cover above. Yes, that really is a Lauren Hill MiniDisc.

What makes this announcement even sweeter for Tanlines fans is this: Volume On is reportedly only a primer for the duo's official full-length debut, which is slated for next year. As for Volume On, it is reportedly due out on December 9 (though with that being Thursday, that release date may change in North America).
