The New York Times reviews The Pinker Tones
Jun 02, 08
The Barcelona-based duo, who create the kind of whimsy-filled and unbearably catchy tunes that are instantly reminiscent of Mylo, are seemingly blowing up like mad. What's most intriguing is that in the article, they also review Weezer. Coincidence?
Of course it’s wise not to look too closely at the lyrics here, which confirm that the Pinker Tones come to pop as producers rather than songwriters. That’s not taking anything away from the effectiveness of a tune like “S.E.X.Y.R.O.B.O.T.,” which has the potential to lodge itself into any human cranium. Or from this chorus: “I’m happy everywhere/It’s just that I’m a little bit scared.” The modesty and vulnerability implied by that couplet can only be assets for a group this confident and cheerily suave.
