If you're from Neenah, Wisconsin: Tropidelic loves you.

We're joined by our friends James and Rex of Tropidelic, fresh off the release of "First Light". Their latest album reflects how they've grown together over the years, with less cursing, more positivity, and the same infectious energy that'll have you dancing the whole way through. It also features killer collaborations with Dan Kelly of Fortunate Youth, Little Stranger, and The Movement.

We dive into some deeeeep Tropidelic lore, from everyone working at Chipotle together to the recent, traumatizing death of the old tour bus (RIP) and their favorite fan moments that will just melt your heart.

Everwild Music Festival is almost here, and we'll be there too, so grab your tickets before it sells out. Then catch Tropidelic back on the road, follow the adventure, and stream First Light wherever you listen!
