Tropical Fuck Storm - A Laughing Death In Meatspace flac album

You could call Tropical Fuck Storm an Australian indie supergroup - and many in the Australian music press have. Singer and songwriter Gareth Liddiard and bassist Fiona Kitschin are key members of the Drones, guitarist Erica Dunn plays in Harmony and Palm Springs, and drummer Lauren Hammel works with High Tension; but ‘supergroup’ implies a level of rock pomp that this group don’t possess  . A Laughing Death In Meatspace, their debut album, was recorded quickly and it sounds like it, in the best possible way. The band only performed their first gigs in September of last year, and Liddiard scrambled to write songs before their shows.

A Laughing Death In Meatspace is by no means easy listening: the playing is off-kilter, strange bursts of noise erupt from instruments, songs dissolve into a maelstrom of noises; the production, mixing and mastering bear traces of the album’s speedy composition and release; and the lyrics invite us to contemplate, without histrionics or self-deception, precisely how fucked we all ar. It’s a combination of old and new, letting Liddiard play to his strengths as a writer while letting a new band paint his compositions in different colors. That blend of comfort and risk makes A Laughing Death in Meatspace one of the best rock records of 2018.

Their debut album, A Laughing Death in Meatspace, dropped in March of 2018 and the band signed with Joyful Noise Recordings shortly thereafter.

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Tropical Fuck Storm channel the broody and menacing sound of Nick Cave as well as leader Gareth Liddiard's previous band, the Drones. Rounded out by fellow Drones member Fiona Kitschin, High Tension's Lauren Hammel, and Mod Con's Erica Dunn, the group came about in 2017 when Liddiard and Kitschin were looking to recruit new members for their previous band. Just a few months later, TFS played their first show, while wasting no time in writing a raft of material

For whatever reason, lead vocalist Gareth Liddiard saw fit to start a side project under the wonderful name Tropical F ck Storm, coupling their debut album possibly the most horrifying cover art I’ve seen to date. TFS have crafted an album that at points sounds pretty close to how the artwork looks, and it’s one of the most off-kilter and well-crafted album’s I’ve heard this year. Central to the album’s success is Gareth’s distinctive vocals; his Australian-accented baritone is equal parts unusual and menacing, his delivery deliberated yet somewhat amateurish
