Tropics is the stage name of English musician Christopher Ward.

History

Tropics began in 2010 with the release of an EP titled Soft Vision. This was his first signing after receiving traction from an official remix of 'A New', a song by Swedish band Little Dragon, also in 2010.[1][2] The following year, Tropics released his debut full-length album titled Parodia Flare via Planet Mu.[3] In 2012, Tropics self-released his second full-length album, titled Nautical Clamor, (however, at times he is known to refer to "Rapture" (2015) as his sophomore album and this as a free mixtape). In 2013, Tropics released his second EP, titled Popup Cinema, via Svetlana Industries. That same year Tropics also released another EP titled Home & Consonance via Five Easy Pieces.[4][5] In 2015, Tropics released his third full-length album, titled Rapture, via Innovative Leisure Records.[6][7]
