It’s a hard one to categorise; band leader Timothy Hines told the San Diego Reader that his music is “scatterbrained…whatever my state of mind is that week”, which could be 60s West Coast rock, fairytale psych, post-punk or shoegaze. This amounts to an uneven ride but you can certainly play spot the influence: the chiming guitars and warmly groaning organ of ‘Havana’ take you back to vintage Jefferson Airplane; the shimmering guitars and Richard Butler-vocals of ‘Tethers’ are pure post-punk; ‘The Queen of New York’ is a more restrained take on JAMC-style noise-pop; and the chanting, chugging psych-rock on [...]

due estratti da Dawn of Delight, l’album di debutto dei Tropical Popsicle - esce oggi su Talitres :
San Diego's Tropical Popsicle is dropping their first LP in March, hot on the heels of their two singles from 2012. Fans of the Woodsist/Captured Tracks catalog take note, there's a recognizable sound here with the dreamy waves of synths and shoegaze 2.0 guitars (or is it shoegaze 3.0 since labels like Clairecords and Burnt Hair kinda had the 2.0 going strong in the late 902s/early 002s? Ah fuck it, who cares). It's the choir-like vocal delivery and minimal drums & synth beats that really set them apart and give them a bit of an early 802s/OMD vibe. [...]
The Men at Mellow Johnny's during SXSW 2012 photo by Jim Bennett Last week the straight outta the mosh pit quartet The Men released the first song from their upcoming album New Moon - "Electric" carries on their direct and loud, but sincere and present, approach to punk. If anything can remind us what it's like to sweat gallons at a show and wash it all down with a cold beer, "Electric" definitely can. For tour dates and the track list visit Impose and hear the official audio [...]
I've been closely keeping tabs on Tropical Popsicle since I came across the group in August of last year. Luckily, I have a feeling I won't be the only one following the band now that they've announced their debut LP, Dawn of Delight , which is going to see release in mid-March via Volar Records . In the track below, you get the impression that the combination of psychedelia with atmospheric sun-pop will largely be the sonic approach of Tim Hines and company. When [...]

It's always a bit difficult to keep track of the goings on of the bands we write about. I've got Bandcamp pages in my RSS feed, labels in my Soundcloud feed, "Liked" bands in my Facebook feed, followees in my Twitter feed, and flagged email addresses. And still, still , I miss a hell of a lot. Tropical Popsicle first landed on our radar with last year's "The Age Of Attraction" with some familiar, magnificent riffs that I couldn't quite place. I'd thought they disappeared completely until a week ago when [...]

Simply stunning and overwhelming track and video, the San Diego dark/tropical band Tropical Popsicle is making magic with a amalgamations of epic concepts, it starts with a easy association to psych California sunny surf-rock but soon it moves into dark synth-wave vibes, pulsating gloom horny bass and Joy Division and Bauhaus ghosts dancing and jumping of joy, didn't knew about this band but will keep it under my radar for sure. "The Tethers" is taken from the S/T EP released in 2011 and a LP is expected this year Tropical Popsicle by [...]
