Chris Ward, otherwise known as Tropics, has just released his debut album 'Parodia Flare' on the ever evolving Planet Mu record label. Having released his Soft Vision EP through the same label, we were eager to hear his full length album and it certainly doesn't dissappoint. Shimmering guitar sounds combine with dubbed-out electronics and understated vocals. The elements on this album come together beautifully, that's for sure. Here's a taster from Chris' Soft Vision EP....
It's a fine album from the young British multi-instrumentalist. At 22 years young, Chris shows real promise. If you like music that's emotive, psychedelic, layered, sun-drenched, delicate and melancholic be sure to check him out. A few words of caution....this is music for the headphone generation rather than the dancefloor. It'll move your mind rather than your feet. But I'm sure that was always his intention. And to think we almost missed out on Chris being a music producer....music production was his second choice of subject at Uni.....some things are just meant to be :)
