He returned on April 26th of this year with a brand new EP called &#8216;Calm&#8217; comprised of 5 tracks. Including &#8220;Act Cool&#8221; which we&#8217;re featuring today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/562181166&amp;color=%23645458&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tropic Harbour<\/strong> produces hazy dream pop productions that depict nostalgic images and dreams of the coast into soundscapes which will have you hooked. Tropic Harbour is very much a solo affair in the studio and the creative aspect of the project. However, on the live side of things. Mark berg likes to surround himself with equally talented bandmates rather than just flog the experience to a pre-recorded track. Bringing a welcomed organic dimension to his tracks to the live setting that you wouldn&#8217;t have suspected otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile has-pale-pink-background-color has-background\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"2048\"  height=\"2048\"  data-attachment-id=\"38534\"  data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sodwee.com\/blog\/2019\/05\/tropic-harbour-act-cool\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-2\/\"  data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048&amp;ssl=1\"  data-orig-size=\"2048,2048\"  data-comments-opened=\"1\"  data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\"  data-image-title=\"artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original\"  data-image-description=\"\"  data-image-caption=\"\"  data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?fit=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-38534 size-full pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?fit=841%2C841&amp;ssl=1\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?resize=690%2C690&amp;ssl=1 690w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?resize=940%2C940&amp;ssl=1 940w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?resize=430%2C430&amp;ssl=1 430w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?resize=90%2C90&amp;ssl=1 90w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/artworks-000475382703-0gxci6-original-1.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" ><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tropicharbour.bandcamp.com\/album\/calm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Buy \/ stream (opens in a new tab)\">Buy \/ stream<\/a> Tropic Harbour&#8217;s new EP &#8216;Calm&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tropicharbour.bandcamp.com\/album\/calm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"On bandcamp...
