Australian band maps their own
music from post punk, rock, funk and noise in songs about mind control and decay (Flightless)
A band naming themselves Tropical Fuck Storm aren’t exactly aiming at the Top 5. The Australian group’s 2018 debut, A Laughing Death in Meatspace, was a berserk, psych-punk, apocalyptic ode to a dying planet. The follow-up widens their concerns to social decay, conspiracy theories, mind control and exploitation. Off-kilter guitars crash into odd tunings: singer and songwriter Gareth Liddiard’s description of the title track as “Fela Kuti in a car crash” is bang on.
