The Pinker Tones

Mexican alt-rock fans won’t be surprised by Barcelona, Spain’s the Pinker Tones, for they present a cut-and-paste formula of pop, funk, soul, bossa, breakbeat, swing, lounge, and psychedelia. The fact that band members Mister Furia and Professor Manso played a long list of instruments in their own recording studio, Pinkerland, makes a big difference, because it helps foster an organic and kaleidoscopic ride through all of their obsessions, be it reconstructing Pink Floyd-inspired songs or wearing unequivocally Beck-ish boots.
