The Tropicanas, a Livingstone based indie outfit, bring the most surrealist, euphoric, and dreamy vibes on their latest release ‘Pop Snuff It’. The wavy indie rock gem from this budding group feels like an effervescent sparkle, a lackadaisical trip down a rainbow of colours, and a swooning sedative that just placates you in the best way possible. The dreamy reverb filled guitars and the melancholic mood contrast the otherwise warm and summery feeling that the arrangement resonates, making it an ideal way to close out your day on a strangely bittersweet note.
The song’s name is a quirky tongue-in-cheek subversion of a skateboarding trick that draws thematically on the song’s real theme, a relationship that’s crumbling down. There’s a strange sadness to it all, but never something far too morose or downcast to be considered pitiful or depressive. A dreamy and melancholic escapade that does a great job in treading a multitude of sonic palettes.
