No one believes me when I tell them that an album by Tropical Fuck Storm is my favorite album of the year so far. Both the band name and the album title seem like a joke, and championing the album reeks of being needlessly obscure. Whatever. This is the sort of sweaty, reeling album that just doesn’t get made much anymore, except perhaps by Iceage. Unapologetic guitar driven bad assery from Melbourne. What started as a side project for Garieth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschin from the Drones turnes out to be better (imho) than the main project.
