‘Badlands’ serves as a fantastic introduction to what listeners can expect to hear on Dark Tropics’ upcoming debut album.

“Our attempt to put an epic American western in a 3-minute pop song.” — Dark Tropics
The formation of the duo was inevitable. Drawn together by a bond that stretched from Ireland to Morocco, musicians Rio and Gerard found common ground in the form of Radiohead, Aretha Franklin, and The Velvet Underground. Armed with the influences of William Somerset Maugham, Paul Aster, and John Cooper-Clarke, the pair formed a partnership – one that relies equally on instinct and guile.
