    Those highs could climb higher, the lows could really crawl. But there's no question that Tanlines have found their path forward.

    Mixed Emotions falls right into place, then, indulging both musical and emotional nostalgia without falling victim to any particular trend.

    Mixed Emotions achieves what a striking debut should, offering up some strong pieces with a singular identity, while also showing that Tanlines are willing to stretch themselves a bit, even if their experimentation might lead them to some dead ends.

    Most of the tracks are about as blank and sterile as an airport terminal.
