If you enjoy that brand of loose and untidy indie music, once toiled by The Libertines, or the space-age variety from the Klaxons, of the sort that’s heavily weighted with under-your-skin melodies and with Hoxton’s alternative crowd engrained into it with indelible ink, then you should love Is Tropical. We first gave them our attention at the turn of the year, (here), and have enjoyed watching them grow and mature beyond their initial promise.
Today we have a free mp3 to hand you from their next single, ‘South Pacific‘, out on November 22nd, before they launch their full debut album early in 2011, on the Kitsune/Cooperative Music labels. This news pairs up with an enjoyable video for the single, as well as a set of live dates, mostly in support of Mystery Jets.
