The Tropics
Sometimes, in the middle of reading the 10,000th blog comment of the day about how San Francisco's gone to shit, it can be good to remember that — if you take a deep breath, step back, and tune out the hum of the Google buses for a moment — this is a damn beautiful place to live.
That's the overwhelming feeling we're left with after watching this new video for "Take You Home," by S.F. indie-pop five-piece
The Tropics. The song was previously a vinyl-only track on their debut EP,
Wind House , out last October on
Breakup Records; now, thanks to S.F. director Frank Door (the man responsible for the video for the band's single "Fireproof," an excellent
shot-by-shot remake of the video for Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch’s “Good Vibrations"), the track gets some breezy, local-love-filled visuals all its own, with the band's adventures around the city interspersed with live footage from a December show at Brick & Mortar Music Hall.
Check it out below. The Tropics play the
Rickshaw Stop on Jan. 16, opening for the Swedish popster
Tove Styrke.
