Biography[edit]
2016–2018: The Drones hiatus and A Laughing Death in Meatspace[edit]
Looking to reboot creatively, The Drones went on hiatus at the end of their tour supporting Feelin' Kinda Free in December 2016. The following year, Drones founder Gareth Liddiard and longtime bandmate Fiona Kitschin started writing material for a new project under the name for the record label they'd coined to self-release the last Drones album. They recruited Erica Dunn and Lauren Hammel during the summer of 2017, before embarking on an American tour. According to Dunn, "They just rang me up. Gareth and Fi were on loudspeaker like excited children. The pitch was 'Do you want to play guitar? We're just going to do some weird shit.' And I was like 'Okay, sure.' Then Gareth said 'We might go to America in the next month, are you free? And we have to write some songs.' Sure I'll clear my schedule. Hammer [Lauren Hammel] was a bit different though, because [Gareth] didn't know her and he had to take her to the pub."[1][2]
They released a series of 7-inch singles later that autumn while on tour with Band of Horses and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard in the US.[3] Their debut album, A Laughing Death in Meatspace, dropped in March 2018 and the band signed with Joyful Noise Recordings shortly thereafter.[4] "The album title links "meatspace" – as Silicon Valley engineers derogatorily refer to the physical realm – with a neurodegenerative disorder called kuru, once found in the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. Men would eat the muscles of the deceased, while women and children ate the brains, thereby inheriting Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and pot-holing their own grey matter to such an extent that they lost control of their emotions and laughed themselves to death."[5] Videos for the songs "You Let My Tyres Down",[6] "Rubber Bullies",[7] "Soft Power"[8] & "The Future of History" were released over 2017 and 2018.[citation needed]
The album – which saw the band utilise a range of obscure digital guitar effects, synthesisers, drum machines, and DAW software such as ProTools – received positive reviews for both its raw and unusual style as well as its lyricism.[9] Greil Marcus wrote that the album makes "as fierce a band as" The Drones "seem austere" in comparison, writing that "the explosions in "Two Afternoons," "A Laughing Death," and "Rubber Bullies" are glorious and frightening, so big they don't feel quite real, but there's a story trying to climb out of the noise, carried by Liddiard's weariness, his uncynical fatalism, but shaped by the counter-vocals of Kitschin and Dunn." He concluded by saying that "you can feel as if this is what history sounds like as it's being written."[10]
Contemporaries such as Thalia Zedek and Conan Neutron named it their favourite album of the year, with the latter calling it "[a]bsolutely powerful stuff. Great songs with incredible left turns. Moody, claustrophobic and staggeringly self aware, like a sentient computer raised on Bill Hicks comedy specials, Howard Zinn, Black MIrror [sic] and Twin Peaks. [...] It’s a hell of a ride."[11][12] In an interview in 2019, Britt Daniel mentioned his love for the band and called the album "[f]antastic. [Gareth Liddard's] lyrics are so good."[13] DMA's ranked the track "You Let My Tyres Down" as their favourite song of the year for Triple J Hottest 100.[14] In an interview with Pitchfork, New Weird author Jeff VanderMeer cited the album as one of many influences on his 2019 novel Dead Astronauts.[15]
The album was longlisted for the Australian Music Prize of 2018,[16] but failed to make the shortlist.[17] The album was also nominated for "Best Rock/Punk Album" at the Music Victoria Awards of 2018, losing out to the self-titled album from Little Ugly Girls.[18]
2018–2019: Braindrops[edit]
Following the release of their debut, the band would go on to play a series of national and international dates in varying capacities,[19] including a few dates opening for Modest Mouse (on their fall tour in October 2018)[20] and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (as a part of their Gizzfest event).[21] On the 23rd of August that year, the band premiered the song "The Happiest Guy Around", which ended up being one half of a split single with Liars (who contributed the track "Total 3 Part Saga") as the 18th instalment of the LAMC (Less Artists More Condos) series of 7-inch singles curated by Famous Class Records; where "an established musician on the A-side" is paired "with one of the musician’s favourite new artists on the B-side".[22][23] The 7-inch was released on the 28th of September.[23] Later that year, the band would also perform a live, pre-composed soundtrack to the Coen brothers' 2007 film No Country for Old Men at Arts Centre Melbourne as part of an event organised by Hear My Eyes.[24][25]
On the 21st of January the following year, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard posted an image of them jamming with Liddiard in the foreground flipping the bird on their official Instagram account.[26] This led some to speculate Liddiard's involvement with the band's new material "either as a guest or producer."[26][21] On the 4th of March that year, Flightless announced that Tropical Fuck Storm had signed with them in Australia and New Zealand,[27][28][29] and on that same day, the band premiered the video to "The Planet Of Straw Men", which would be the first single from their second album, set to be released "mid-2019" through Joyful Noise Recordings worldwide and Flightless Records in Australia and New Zealand.[30][28][29] On the 17th of June, the band released the second single from their upcoming album, "Paradise"; the name of the album was also revealed to be Braindrops the same day, and its release date of August 23 was announced.[31][32][33]
Treble magazine, in a review published on 12 August 2019, named Braindrops their "Album of the Week" praising the track "Paradise" as "a sickly mirage of an oasis—you can practically see the disspiating heat haze over Liddiard's trickling guitar riffs. It slowly escalates its way toward a furious climax, turning into one of the most explosive break-up songs in recent memory". The review concludes: "Tropical Fuck Storm invite the chaos, orchestrating it, manipulating it, delivering a piece of mangled and bruised art that sounds magnificent at its most frayed and fragmented. It's a weirdness that feels strangely assuring, even necessary."[34] NARC Magazine gave the album a perfect score, writing that it "pretty much cements the Australians as one of the most vital acts on the planet right now." Exclaim! called it "a psychedelic rock opera occasionally dipping its toes in the stream of electro-punk. The result is equal parts harrowing and electrifying, surreal and far too familiar."[35] According to Paste, "[l]istening to Braindrops feels like watching a sped-up timeline of rising sea levels and melting glaciers set to long-lost field recordings of maximalist noise-rock from the Outback. You're listening to a world falling apart."[36] Braindrops, writes The Line of Best Fit, "is as cerebral and gut-level as its name implies, high-minded and high volume, a grand mess that isn't really a mess at all."[37]
Despite their tepid review of the LP as a whole, which objects at length to the consistency of Liddiard's lyrical style and of the singer's conviction about psychic and cultural issues relating to the epistemological mass-extinction event of Fake News characteristic of media in the (at the time, still current) Trump regime, Pitchfork praises the outro track:[38]
"Maria 63"...tells a fabricated story of Maria Orsic, a mysterious and, in Liddiard’s estimation, entirely fake Nazi witch exalted by online conspiracists. In Tropical Fuck Storm’s telling, Orsic is a trickster capable of duping even a keen-eyed Mossad agent...it’s an engrossing, haunted fable, a way to link society’s obsession with conspiracy to our basic needs for security and comfort."[38]
In an interview with Konbini, Iggy Pop praised the title track of the album, simply calling it "a good fuck".[39][40] Both Michael Feuerstack and Conan Neutron called it one of their favourite albums of the year, with the latter calling it "an utterly befuddling and "wrong" sounding record that is oh so "right". There isn't a clear monster single like “tyres” on this one, but the whole thing has a snakey, baked in the sun vibe that works its way into your subconscious."[41][42]
2020–2021: Deep States[edit]
On 15 March 2020, the band released "Suburbiopia", a song about suicide cults.[43] "The lyrical trajectory started as a total shamoz", Liddiard said of the song. "We all started it at breakfast one morning. But at about 11am I took a shower and the concept came to me. I thought 'What if all those nutty cults with their fucked up suicide escape plans weren’t wrong and everybody else accusing them of being insane was wrong? It’s timely not 'cause of the cult thing but because it’s probably a good time to leave the planet.'”[43] The video which accompanied the song's release "features the band dressed in blonde wings à la The Family cult in Victoria and also samples recordings of Heavens Gate [sic] cult leader Marshall Applewhite and anime footage from the Aum Shinrikyo cult – famous for releasing sarin gas into the Tokyo subway in 1995."[43] The 7" of the single was released on the 3rd of April, with a cover of "This Perfect Day" by The Saints - featuring Amy Taylor of Amyl and the Sniffers and Sean Powell of Surfbort - as its B-side.[44]
On 12 August 2020, the band premiered a new version of the track "Legal Ghost": a "sprawling, experimental cut" originally recorded by Liddiard during the 90s for his Bong Odyssey project with former Drones member Rui Pereira.[45][46] The song - which Liddiard considers to be the first he'd ever written of a "higher standard" “as far as songwriting goes” - deals with "mortality and early death, and its impact on a sense of place."[45] It was released as a 7" single on 11 September, with a cover of Talking Heads' "Heaven" as its B-side.[46][47]
On 23 June 2021, the single "G.A.F.F." ("Give a Fuck Fatigue") was released with its music video.[48][49] Described as "a grungy and jagged fusion of funk-rock and hip-hop beats", the "nihilistic" song was called in its press release "an ode to the occasional dispassion brought about by the mandatory concern for every perceived injustice that happens, has happened and might yet happen that is being foisted upon the masses by super-yacht dwelling tech barons who monetise our indignation."[48] This was accompanied by the announcement of the title, cover art & track list of the band's 3rd album Deep States.[50][48][49] The fourth single, "New Romeo Agent", was released on July 20; its music video depicts the members of the band "performing as captives in an alien dive bar."[51] The fifth and final single the band released from the album - on the 10th of August - was "Bumma Sanger", accompanied by a "surrealist" music video directed by Oscar O'Shea which features work by Tasmanian artist Georgia Lucy.[52]Deep States was finally released on the 20th of August 2021.[48][49]
2022–present: Satanic Slumber Party & other recent projects[edit]
On March 14, 2022, Tropical Fuck Storm released a joint EP with King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard titled Satanic Slumber Party. The EP features three tracks, based on a larger jam session titled "Hat Jam" recorded by both bands during the recording sessions of King Gizzard's 2019 album Fishing for Fishies. The "Hat Jam" session was also adapted by King Gizzard for the first single of their 2022 album Omnium Gatherum, "The Dripping Tap". Alongside the release of the Satanic Slumber Party EP, a limited-edition 12" LP titled Hat Jam containing "The Dripping Tap" and Satanic Slumber Party was made available for pre-order through both bands' online stores.[53] Later that summer, they put out the critically acclaimed Moonburn EP, including a cover of "Ann" by The Stooges .[54][55][56] A second edition of the album, including a sprawling interpretation of Hendrix as the first track "1983" was released shortly thereafter under the title Submersive Behavior..[54][55][56]
A Tropical Fuck Storm poster and (fellow Joyful Noise Recordings artist) No Joy LP made a brief cameo appearance in the 2022 Jordan Peele film, Nope.
On 5 January 2023, the band announced that it would be cancelling all tour dates outside Australia for the rest of the year to accommodate Kitschin's stage three breast cancer diagnosis.[57]
Gareth Liddiard's side-project Springtime S/T[58] had been released in 2021 followed by the Night Raver EP,[59] and his solo albums Strange Tourist[60] and the Bootlicker Series 2006-2016[61] were re-released during this caesura in the Tropical Fuck Storm project in combination with other efforts supporting Fiona's recovery. With successful treatment the band has begun to schedule tour dates spring and summer 2024, and they are recording again.[62]

I was scared to see this band play, precisely because they are supposed to be so good. It never ends up being true. Fortunately, I also never end up being right. And for the record (pun intended), TFS's 2019 release Braindrops is as good as their first one, which is to say very great.
