The Tropics – “Fireproof” Video (Stereogum Premiere)
As presented on “Fireproof” from their upcoming Wind House EP, San Francisco indie rockers the Tropics play exultantly poppy blood-pumping music that bears traces of everything from Scandinavian pop to disco-punk to classic ’90s alt-rock. It’s like Love Is All with the jagged edges smoothed out, blasted to U2’s arena-sized scope. Director Frank Door’s video for the song is a shot-for-shot remake of Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch’s “Good Vibrations” video, which is hilarious. Watch it below.
Wind House is out 10/28 on Breakup. Pre-order it at Bandcamp. And because of course you’ll want to compare, here’s that Marky Mark video:
