The Pinker Tones is a Latin and Techno act. Their sound grew out of Coldplay, Johnny Cash, Cat Power, Kinky and Soda Stereo. Those roots explain a lot about how The Pinker Tones arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Mexican Institute of Sound, Crystal Fighters, Yonderboi, Kinky and Señor Coconut, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Torpedo Boyz, Skizoo and Astrud Gilberto, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 30 connections around The Pinker Tones, reaching back through Coldplay and forward to Torpedo Boyz.
