Biography
Tangarine is a Dutch folk duo with roots in Assen, The Netherlands, comprising twin brothers Arnout and Sander Brinks.
Born in Lelystad, the Brinks family moved to Assen when the twins were nine years of age. They started writing their own songs at a very tender age, inspired by Simon & Garfunkel, The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Unable to land a record deal, they decided to do things themselves. A number of self-released albums followed and they booked their own shows.
In 2011 Tangarine supported Tim Knol and it was Knol's keyboardist, Matthijs van Duijvenbode, who brought Tangarine to the attention of the Excelsior Recordings record label. The brothers were invited to perform on massively popular Dutch TV show, De Wereld Draait Door and released their Excelsior début record, Seek & Sigh in April 2013. Upon the album's release, De Wereld Draait Door booked them for a season's residency on the show.
As of July 2023 Tangarine has released five full-length studio albums. Their 2013 début was followed by Move On (2014), There and Back (2016, recorded in Tucson, AZ, United States, with members of Calexico), Because of You (2018) and Blank Cassette (2023).
