Tropics - Popup Cinema - 12" Vinyl

Svetlana Industries presents an EP from Tropics. The title-track is an ear-worm. Hinging on a melancholy vocal couplet over a simple chord sequence on Rhodes, this one grows into a banger. "Invitation" is upbeat and coated in an '80s sheen, calling to mind the sunshine pop textures of John Talabot or even Phoenix. "Ophelia" is a mini-epic, a strong vocal melody combined with a fully-realized arrangement. Finally, Kelpe's remix of "Popup Cinema" is one of the best things he's ever done.
