About
Club Tropicana is a collection of songs I wrote over the last 3 years, recorded in a lackadaisical acoustic style to reflect a general theme of being a bit too relaxed in the face of turmoil and uncertainty. The title and album art came from photos I took of a condemned mall in Phoenix that I became mildly obsessed with while staying there for a conference; once I had those ready to go I had no choice but to follow through with recording the EP. I chose to keep up a lo-fi vibe across the 4 songs, with heavy usage of a dirt-cheap FM keyboard from 1987 on both “Funemployed” and “Goodbye” and plenty of room noise to make everything feel as immediate as possible. Main inspirations for this release were Big Thief, Neutral Milk Hotel, and (Sandy) Alex G.
