Tropical Fuck Storm – Fairyland Codex (Magenta coloured vinyl)

The genre-bending Tropical Fuck Storm present their eagerly awaited fourth album "Fairyland Codex" on their new label Fire Records.

Recorded with co-producer Michael Beach at the band's Dodgy Brothers Studio in Nagambie, Australia, the songs on "Fairyland Codex" immerse us in the chaos of a fateful landslide, picking out the characters that sully the impending collapse of society. Acidic, biting, anarchic: Tropical Fuck Storm are masters of wordplay, underscored by growling guitars, pulsating rhythms and explosive salvos, inhabiting a hinterland between light and darkness.

The vocal interplay between Liddiard and the soaring harmonies of Kitschin and Dunn creates a wavering balancing act, heightened by the desperate narratives that evolve from their collective psyches. Tropical Fuck Storm formed when The Drones - the previous band of guitarist and vocalist Gareth Liddiard and bassist and vocalist Fiona Kitschin - went on hiatus in 2016. Together with guitarist, keyboardist and vocalist Erica Dunn and drummer Lauren Hammel, the group has released a string of critically acclaimed albums and earned a reputation for their incendiary live shows.
