TROPICAL DEPRESSION CD RELEASE + PHANTOM TAILS
Set times:
Tropical Depression 11pm
Phantom Tails 12am
TROPICAL DEPRESSION is the eponymous full-length debut album and soundtrack of a man's two-year voyage around the globe on a 600-foot yacht. Written and recorded in a studio in the belly of his boat, the AVTOMATIK, Tropical Depression's beautifully crafted songs and melodies are painted in "post-yacht" eclectic textures ranging from post-disco, dreamy synthpop, to gospel punk. Throughout the songs the yachtsman reveals incognito an outrageous journey of celebrity debauchery and nautical adventure, and ultimately what hides beneath the sun-drenched skin of a man who exists in excess. The single "How It Feelz (feat. Lisa McGuire)" is Tropical Depression's duet anthem to dancing and crying at the same time.
Phantom Tails formed in early 2009.
In fact, the band never really formed so much as it emerged as part of a natural progression. All four members had been playing together for some time in other bands before indulging to embark on a more electronic, gritty, and concise musical path. Wielding distorted analog synthesizers, fuzz bass, and angular guitar while brandishing electronic drum beats sampled from vintage 808 machines, traditional sumatran folk music, and sonar whale recordings, they have executed this transition.
