Is Tropical is a young mysterious trio coming from London and performing with veiled faces… They describe their music as a bass heavy, beat driven, pop-influenced lo-fi dance music. And we are all very excited to have them on board!

The band entered the studio in the autumn of 2009 with Jimmy Robertson (Klaxons / Friendly Fires) to record their debut album, the first fruits of which was the lush ‘SOUTH PACIFIC’ single released in Jan 2011. South Pacific, their second release and first for Kitsuné, was mixed by LEXXX (Crystal Castles /Gwen Stefani) and received great praise for the development and sophistication in its sound. Around this time IS TROPICAL toured the UK and Europe as special guests of Klaxons, The Big Pink and Mystery Jets and have subsequently grown into a mesmerizing live act, effortlessly combining a late night strobing club show with infectious, sing along pop songs.
In March of 2011 they announced details of their debut long player “Native to”. This would be proceeded by the single “The Greeks” with its now infamous accompanying viral smash of a video directed by Megaforce (2,500.000 + and counting plays on Youtube). After the successful release of “Native to”, the band spent the summer months touring the European festival circuit to great acclaim, scheduled a trip to Japan, and have recently announced a follow up single “Lies” to be released in the autumn of 2011.

IS TROPICAL have also announced details of their biggest ever tour, which plans to visit Europe, North & South America and the Far East in late 2011, follow them thanks to their crazy tour video displayed on Kitsuné Journal !

Not just limited to their home country IS TROPICAL has garnered worldwide appeal for their music.
