Shows and all that jazz
Got s'more splits coming up soon as well. It's top secret at the moment. Hopefully a new White Tropics album will come around later this year or next year.
Stay safe and have fun this summer. It'll be over before you know it.

Sycamore
You make friends. You lose friends. You lose hope. You tell yourself everything is going to be ok but it's not. You find someone you really admire. They make you happy even though deep down you feel sad. Don't be sad. You can't help it. It always keeps coming back. You fall in love with someone who lives miles and miles away. You slowly gain faith again. You tell them you love them after a few months and drinks. They love you back. You don't want to be with anyone else. No one else matters really. Each time you see each other, it's magical. Each time you leave each other, it's miserable. But you're not going to give up. You're too strong enough already even though you feel weak. The anxiety comes. The depression settles in. Sometimes you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. You're going to collapse if you don't find the light. Your body is in pain. The drugs don't work. Drinking won't help enough. Nothing works. You are sick with love. You're not going to give up. You can't help it. Don't let anyone tell you to give up. Don't let them win. Because nothing is real. This all just a bad dream and you're going to wake up one day.

Sacred Flowers
In the past few months, I've been dealing with emotional and physical problems. Making music has helped me immensely to cope. Everything I do is personal. Burning in Heaven was about drugs and religion. Sacred Flowers is love and separation. I'm really proud of how it turned out, and I hope you guys enjoy it.

LP3 + Discography
I'm working on LP3 now. Not sure when it will be finished. Maybe sometime this spring?
I uploaded all my music on mediafire including the White Tropics LP and everything that's not on bandcamp. Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?aiu28dss0q4lb
The Florida EP is my first recording. I recorded it in the summer of 2010 when I was really into the Mysterious Skin soundtrack which was done by Harold Budd and Robin Guthrie. It's a very beautiful album. The movie is one of my all-time favorites. The next album I did was Lost in a Graveyard that was released on Halloween 2010. I don't think it's very good... haha. At the time, I was obsessed with sample-based music. Especially Eric Copeland's work. It was all done on Ableton and I really had no idea of what I was doing. Someone told me recently it reminds them of David Lynch. In January 2011, I put out Psychic Youth Rally. The title (and the artwork) came from a Throbbing Gristle show. 6 months later I released the Third Summer of Love EP. I thought of putting it out on cassette but I scrapped that idea because I was not satisfied of the recordings. My band Wasted Islands tweaked and recorded "Terror on the Beach" for one of our EPs. Burning in Heaven came out last June. If you go back a few posts on here, I wrote out a track-by-track explanation of the album.
So 2013 is looking good so far. Thanks to everyone who downloaded and bought the White Tropics album. Tyler and I appreciate all the love and support we've been getting.
In the meantime, check out the new Wretched Excess album. It's gorgeous.
