ANDREW R. BURNS & THE TROPICANAS – DREAMSLOP ep
> Posted: Monday, March 30th, 2015 by StephenThis week we’re delighted to announce a new artist – ANDREW R. BURNS &
THE TROPICANAS. They played their debut gig last week. There is not a single review of them. So why should you listen to them?
Well, Andrew, Ru and Joe are also part of Livingston band / Flowers artist alansmithee who Scottish Fiction recently called “four lo-fi geniuses”. They’ve been championed by Song By Toad. The Daily Record described them as “Interpol or The Cure fronted by Edwyn Collins.”
This is something different. The band describe their music as “tropical dreamslop… lazy unpolished, reverb laden tunes.”
To our ears it’s alienated melodic genius.
The ‘Dreamslop’ ep is out Sunday 31st May, available from itunes and all major digital stores via Scottish label Flowers In The Dustbin. Available for pre-order now, with an immediate download of feature track ‘Coming Back Down to Erf’.
New single from alansmithee
