Review by Dannii Leivers

You can’t help feeling Is Tropical may have made a mistake by playing their aces too early.»

Buy now from:

'native to', produced by the band with jimmy robertson and mixed by lifelike, features twelve new tracks including the recent single 'south pacific' and the forthcoming new release 'the greeks'. effortlessly swooping from raw pop anthems to lo-fi dance songs with fantastic results, as well as the two singles other standouts include 'take my chances', 'lies' and 'think we're alone'. formed in london, the is tropical line up of gary barber (vocals / guitar / keys), simon milner (vocals / guitars / keys) and dominic apa (drums and programming) first came to international attention with the release of their debut single 'when o' when' on hit club records in january 2010. produced by al al al (the big pink / klaxons), the single, together with their spectral live shows, saw the band attract the attention of fans and critics alike. they soon signed to french music and fashion label kitsune (digitalism / two door cinema club) and released there second single 'south pacific' in november 2010.
