About This Item
Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 . Tropical Odds is the second album by White Sea, the solo alias adopted by gifted singer, songwriter and producer Morgan Kibby. Tropical Odds stems from an interactive project launched via White Sea's website featuring digital singles and videos released at regular intervals throughout 2015 and 2016. Explains Morgan 'Generally being able to create and mix and master my solo material within days has given me the direct freedom to share songs I want people to hear. In short, if I write something that I like, I put it out!' Now gathered together in album form, the musical moods on Tropical Odds range from the somber reflections of 'Gangster No. 1' and 'Yesterday' to the hedonistic rush of 'Stay Young, Get Stoned' and 'Never a Woman', high drama on 'Bloodline' and 'Arcadia', and heartbreaking balladry on 'Secret', 'One Bad Eye' and 'Lessons'. Born in Alaska, and now a resident of Los Angeles, Morgan fronted The Romanovs before joining acclaimed electronic music group M83 in 2007, co-writing, arranging and playing keyboards on the albums Saturdays = Youth and Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, as well as completing several world tours. As White Sea, her first solo album In Cold Blood arrived in 2014. Outside of M83 Morgan has also collaborated with artists such as Greg Kurstin, Panic! At the Disco, Mark Ronson and School of Seven Bells, remixed Ellie Goulding and Britney Spears, and composed the award winning soundtrack to Eva Husson's provocative 2016 movie Bang Gang (une histoire d'amour moderne).
