THE PINKER TONES "Wild Animals" In Stores Tomorrow; NY Times Praises Album

THE PINKER TONES' 'WILD ANIMALS' IN STORES TOMORROW JUNE 3RD The Group Just Completed Week-Long Spotlights As MTV tr3s' "Artist Of The Week" And A MySpace Music Featured Artist They Are Currently Preparing For This Summer's Entire 44 Date Vans Warped Tour Across The U.S. "Whatever crops up in the music -- retro-funk breakdowns, bachelor-pad bossa novas, catchy choruses in Romance languages -- the beat endures and thrives {on Wild Animals]." - NEW YORK TIMES "The boys from Barcelona hit the streets with [Wild Animals], a surprisingly confident and joyful collection of jaunty hooks and mondo beats that fully exploits all that the Pinker Tones hear and integrate in their port city." - THE WASHINGTON POST "This group from Barcelona has developed a brilliant way to bring people to a musical climax thanks to their genius fusion of languages and rhythms in an electronic mood. 'Wild Animals' is one of the most amazing albums of the year." - PEOPLE EN ESPAÑOL "Like some sort of hipster virus, the Pinker Tones' poppy electronica has spread from the duo's hometown of Barcelona." - BILLBOARD "Barcelona's Pinker Tones are just flat-out unbelievably fucking great...they rate as one of the finest exercises in pop confection currently working in the known universe." - LA WEEKLY "[On Wild Animals] Barcelona-based duo The Pinker Tones make delightfully upbeat electronic pop songs." - XLR8R The critics are buzzing about Barcelona-based electronic act The Pinker Tones' new album, 'Wild Animals', in advance of its release in-stores tomorrow, June 3rd. The dynamic duo's third U.S. album continues the explosive momentum sparked by their 2006 debut 'The Million Colour Revolution' and 2007 remix album 'More Colours!'. The group is currently preparing for their set this summer on the entire 44 date Vans Warped Tour across the U.S. (see tour dates below). They will perform an extended set each night in the Skull Candy electronic music tent. 'Wild Animals' features a wide array of special vocal guests including reggae soul legend Jimmy Lindsay from Cymande on "The Whistling Song" and Amparo from Spanish band Amparanoia on "Electrotumbao". First single will be the track, "Happy Everywhere." "Our last album, 'The Million Colour Revolution', was about utopia, a projection for how we wanted the world to be," Mister Furia explains. "'Wild Animals' is about reality, our interpretation of the actual world we live in. Songs like "The Whistling Song", "24" and "On Se Promenait" are some of our happiest and most nostalgic yet." Just in 2007, the group was the subject of a New York Times feature, had an A&E television special, performed on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic", had a song featured on hit sitcoms "Ugly Betty" and "Entourage" and saw heavy video play on networks like mtvU, MTV Tr3s, Mun2, and LATV. The Pinker Tones also made a major splash at last year's SXSW, where they performed five shows in only 36 hours and also blew away the audience at KCRW's Sounds Eclectic Evening in Los Angeles alongside leading artists like The Shins, Lily Allen and Rodrigo and Gabriela. The Pinker Tones recent single "Karma Hunters" was also selected by national bilingual youth network Mun2 as the theme song for its popular reality show 'Chicas Project'. This past August, The Pinker Tones released 'More Colours!', an album complete with infectious remixes and collaborations featuring a stellar lineup of artists including Kinky, Nortec Collective, Zeta Bosio (Soda Stereo) and Mexican Institute of Sound. Over several national U.S. tours throughout 2007, the DJ crew brought their electrifying set to fans across the country. The New York Times even claimed that, "Unlike many electronica acts, The Pinker Tones thrive onstage." With a live show that combines the intensity of a rock band and the excitement of a DJ set, the group is moving along on the path to global domination. The Pinker Tones have ventured from Barcelona to such faraway places as London, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Moscow, Toronto, Beijing and Johannesburg.
