IS TROPICAL ( - UK)
From The Klaxons to Two Door Cinema via Crystal Fighters, we have the Kitsune label to thank for one of the best electro-pop discoveries of the 2000s. Their most recent gem to date: Is Tropical or three young London locals were noticed through their first single produced by Al’ O’Connelle of the Klaxons. Armed with federal anthems, like their single “South Pacific”, weaned on pop melodies and broken in on the most demanding dancefloors, Is Tropical hold all the ace cards to survive the hype of a season. The proof is in their remarkable appearances at the Inrocks festival and the TransMusicales in Rennes, two events with a reputation for digging up tomorrow’s talent. This group, that likes to cultivate an air of mystery by wearing strange scarves over their faces during their concerts, is on the point of raising the Ardentes to a tropical temperature.
