"The Greeks...listen to it on repeat about 50 times" -NME

With their new album Native To, the UK trio Is Tropical are releasing their unique and signature brand of dance-pop music in America. The twelve tracks that comprise the album flow seamlessly from one to the next while at the same time covering the broad spectrum of musical stylings that catapulted them into the spotlight to begin with. Highlights of the album include the hard-hitting, lo-fi track, "Oranges", as well as the dreamy and whimsical "Clouds" and "Lies". See the video for the track "South Pacific" here.
Is Tropical first entered the international scene with the release of their debut single 'When O' When'/'Seasick Mutiny'on Hit Club Records in January 2010. Produced by Alalal (The Big Pink / Klaxons), the single attracted the attention of fans and critics alike.
Dividing opinions with the band's refusal to show 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 Kitsune (Digitalism / Two Door Cinema Club).
Is Tropical will be touring throughout Europe and Japan this spring, with more live and festival dates to be announced very soon!
