Slowly creeping its' way up Tokyo Indie's playlist for 2010 is this latest offering from London electro pop 3 piece Is Tropical. When O' When starts off as more of a sea shanty guitar strum than electronic indie anthem but the lightest of loops hints of what's to come. Indeed, give it a few minutes and it casts off in a completely different direction - the wind in its' sails.
When "When O' When" leaves you wanting more the B-side for this 7inch release, "Seasick Mutiny", won't disappoint. To put it simply the B-side is a thumping, fuzzing romp of a record.
Taken all together this release really is a great piece of electro power pop from a band just beginning to find its' feet. That said, it's no surprise they're already stealing in on support slots - touring with the likes of New Young Pony Club and Egyptian Hip Hop. Tokyo Indie will be on the lookout for these guys.
