Beneath the 30 degree line of latitude exists the simmering subtropical region, home of velvet hyperhumidity. Your tour guides in this mysterious realm, where the jasmine-scented air feels like molasses, are Post-K DuMarais of the Crescent City, New Orleans, and Timezone LaFontaine of the City Beautiful, Orlando.
On their self-titled debut album, Subtropics bring forth a snapshot of the return home of two prodigal Southern sons at the dawn of the 21st century, in the days immediately before Hurricane Katrina changed the landscapes of our imaginations forever. Everything has changed and we must learn to groove anew... and lest you feel some misplaced sense of invulnerability in some far-off chillier clime, let us assure you: y'all will all be feeling the subtropics someday!
But fear not, for we, the offspring of these beloved yet forsaken lands of palm and pine, thunderstorms and fireflies, blazing sunrays and all-night bacchanalia, offer you the priceless gifts that could only come from these sinking lands: more soul, more pride and more love to enable you to walk light, head held high.
