A shimmering blend of downtempo electronica, ambient textures, and retro-futuristic synths, “Cherry” draws on Ward’s early chillwave roots while pushing into bold new sonic territory. It’s both nostalgic and forward-facing — a lush, hypnotic groove that glides between worlds.

“Heavy drums and rhythmic strumming on the bass, against all the soundscapes that aim to space you out and send you somewhere else,” Ward notes. “I guess it’s a contrast of being chilled / spaced-out but this throbbing underlying angst.”

Reality Fever spans 10 tracks and marks Tropics’ most dynamic work to date — shifting seamlessly between beat-driven catharsis and quiet introspection. Fans of Mount Kimbie, James Blake, Bar Italia, and Toro Y Moi will find resonance in its balance of grit and ambience.
