The Pinker Tones is a Latin and Techno act. Their sound grew out of Coldplay, Johnny Cash, Cat Power, Kinky and Soda Stereo.

They run in the same orbit as Yonderboi, Kinky, Señor Coconut, Groove Armada and Macaco, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence.
