Tropics, aka 25 year old multi-instrumentalist, producer & singer Chris Ward, came from nowhere to wide acclaim in a few short months thanks to his brand of lush and melodic dreampop, which Pitchfork labeled “intoxicating and memorably tuneful”. Sitting somewhere between the vibrant musicality of Daphni and the opulent electronics of M83, he released 2 EPs and an album on Planet Mu whilst still at uni. Following a string of highly regarded remixes for Little Dragon, M83, Pale Seas and Poliça, he dropped his latest EP, Popup Cinema, in late 2012 on cult Serbian label Svetlana Industries. Widely praised, and with the title track now on the cusp of 100k soundcloud plays, momentum is building with a new EP set for release in March.
Still unsigned for records & publishing, PRSF funding for SXSW 2013 will enable him to showcase his talents to a global audience of tastemakers.
