This band to watch is ready to bring their signature live show, plus antics, to America. You can catch a glimpse of the trio’s escapades and tricks they will bring over HERE – get ready New York (CMJ), Los Angles, San Francisco, Boston and Chicago! Several gigs are as part of the Kitsuné Club Tour, which has RAC, DATABASE, Beataucue, French Horn Rebellion etc on their bills. Dom from the band Dom made a special announcement video for this, HERE. Is Tropical’s debut album Native To will be release physically on October 18th via Kitsuné/ Cooperative Music / Downtown Records.
Besides releasing their NSFW and controversial video music video for “The Greeks” on Youtube HERE and on Vimeo HERE (about 4 million views and counting), you can see the hilariously trippy Moonlight Matters RMX video HERE and another killer video “featuring” Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen of their B-side “Tan Man” HERE. The band also made a gorgeous cover of Tom Waits’ “Lie To Me”, which you can hear HERE.
Is Tropical made a new remix available as a free MP3 to the fans, please download “The Greeks” (Polarset Remix) MP3 HERE.
Is Tropical first entered the international scene with the limited and now hard to find debut release “When O’ When’/’Seasick Mutiny’ on Hit Club Records in January 2010. Produced by Al Al Al (The Big Pink / Klaxons), the single attracted the attention of fans and critics alike.
Dividing opinions with the band’s refusal to reveal their faces, as well as their broad, all-encompassing sound, Is Tropical was soon at the forefront of the conflict between lo-fi purists and those who cherished the strange electronic instrumentals. They soon signed to legendary French label Kitsuné (Two Door Cinema Club, Delphic and Heartsrevolution).
