"I wasn’t really familiar with Tan Dollar when I downloaded this EP. In fact, I don’t even really remember downloading it in the first place, but there it was in my recently added folder in iTunes. So I listened, and I liked. I like a lot, actually. So I reached out to the very friendly frontman Chris Thorne via Twitter and then later e-mail and he gave me the scoop on this dreamy pop band from Tustin, California.
For being a relatively young band, Tan Dollar has not only quite a few releases under their belt, but they’ve also undergone more lineup changes than most bands will see in their lifetime. Chris Thorne remains the band’s sole founding member and he is now joined by three of his friends for their latest EP Diary of Our Journey to the Netherlands. After going back and listening to a few of their older releases it seems like Tan Dollar has been steadily shedding layers with each release. And on this EP it seems like this new skin of theirs is the softest, and most healthy yet.
The three tracks on Diary find ground that is very welcome to my ears. They successfully and effortlessly straddle the ground between dream pop and 1980’s shoegaze and they do so with two different guitar effects. It’s a great mashup of sound and it creates these pop songs that sound relatively timeless. Chris told me that the band is hopefully gearing up for a 12” release later this year. So now that I’m a fervent fan I’m definitely going to tracking that one" (cactusmouth.tumblr.com)
