Tropics
“Home & Consonance”
Home & Consonance EP (out April 22 on Five Easy Pieces)
Southampton native Tropics (né Chris Ward) looks set to drop a moody follow-up to 2012’s sunkissed, Balearic-leaning Popup Cinema. On its title track, Ward weaves a nostalgic, homesick stunner that feels like driving to the airport after spending a weekend in your hometown. Over a delicate, twinkling Rhodes-line, Ward examines that emotion we all know so well — melancholy about leaving and wishing he could take all his city-friends back to this place that feels like home.
“When I go, I feel so at home…. If I could bring all the ones I love, I would.” It’s a feeling that will resonate with almost everybody.
