Since, Simon Milner, Gary Barber and Dominic Apa have created a pulsating atmosphere around their music through D&AD-winning music videos, such as the lubed-up, banned-on-YouTube "Dancing Anymore" from I'm Leaving. Their latest, "Lover's Cave", is another left field sexual splendour directed by controversial cult photographer Richard Kern. The track was inspired by a story Is Tropical were told when playing a show on the beach in Anglet, Southern France.
