News from Is Tropical

In the summer of 2014, IS TROPICAL set out across North America, Africa, Europe, Asia and South America on an extensive venture of touring and recording. The result is their modular third LP Black Anything - a project to be released in five installments via the newly founded New York-based Axis Mundi Records.

After amicably parting ways with the electro powerhouse Kitsuné and enlisting Kirstie Fleck (singer of 2013’s “Dancing Anymore” - aka that one with the superbly NSFW video) as a full-time member, IS TROPICAL have taken ambitious step into more conceptual territory.

Working alongside producer and collaborator Luke Smith (Foals, Depeche Mode, formerly of Clor), Black Anything evolved over the band's tour period and saw them allowing the different environments to develop and craft the songs, rather than locking themselves in a studio.

Black Anything will be released in five 10” transparent picture disc installments, with each vinyl displaying the continent in which the tracks were recorded. When displayed on top of each other, the five vinyls create the globe, unifying the concept as a whole.

We’re pleased to present the opening track from the first installment, "Crawl/On My Way", which will be released on 8th December 2014 trough Suburban. Listen to the "Crawl/On My Way" here.

Is Tropical recently did a TV show called 'The Best Of Belgium' for the AB, watch the the trailer of the show here.
