Mixing a digital tag with symphonic programming and keys, sees the London trio of Is Tropical building up some mystique and lounge relaxation through sophomore single, ‘South Pacific’.
An atmospheric echo builds up neatly to the distorted and thoughtful vocals that have a poetic edge. The backdrop is given a sonic kick, before the track morphs into a lounge/disco vibe.
Groove Armada territory is stepped into with misty sincerity and unobtrusively, so a trespassing conviction is unlikely.
The lead combination of Gary Barber and Simon Milner, continues to steer the good ship Is Tropical into mainstream lounge-pop territory, as their debut album looms invitingly on the horizon.
