Japanese fusion band of Tropique has released its second studio label, a follow-up to the band's surprising debut Buster Goes West (Electric Cowbell Records). Released in May, the new album Looking For My Foot Foot is on the new Japanese label Pepei Records.
Buster Goes West was a surprising album because it seemed to many people that it came from nowhere and made musical connections that were, well, surprising.
The band's new album, Looking For My Foot Foot continues a remarkable musical journey that blends tropical pop -- often cumbia -- with elements of lounge and exotica, jazz, rock and funk. The band describes themselves as "a Tokyo-based instrumental band playing twisted funky music with exotic vibes".
