Tropical Fuck Storm – A Laughing Death In Meatspace LP Vinyl Record (Translucent Purple “Nurple” Coloured Vinyl)

Newly formed in 2018 by Gareth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschin (The Drones), Tropical Fuck Storm was born. Liddiard and Kitschin were joined by maniacs Lauren Hammel (High Tension) on drums and Erica Dunn (Mod Con, Harmony) on guitars, keys and other gadgets. It was not since John Lydon changed it up from the Sex Pistols to PiL had a curveball felt so bracingly exhilarating.

The album’s title refers to kuru, the “laughing death disease” once found in the Fore people in Papua New Guinea, which is now widely accepted to have been transmitted by funerary cannibalism. A cheerful record, full of hope and wonder, then. Maybe not. From ‘Chameleon Paint’, a damning indictment on holier than thou behaviour and social media surveillance, to the lurching ‘Antimatter Animals’ with its spat-out refrain “your politics ain’t nothing but a fond fuck you”, Tropical Fuck Storm are squaring up for a fight. They are foul-mouthed and howling, playing directly into the void we are all hurtling towards at an ever more alarming pace. They are observant and eviscerating, clever wordplay tangled up in sharply boomeranging riffs, as on album closer ‘Rubber Bullies’.
