The band whose name would get this newsletter sent to your spam folder if we wrote their whole name are back! Fairyland Codex, Tropical F**k Storm's fourth album, finds the Aussie outfit in fierce form, delivering "snarling guitars, pulsing rhythms, and explosive salvos" galore. The gang are newly signed to Fire Records, and ready to prove that the end of the world as we know it can be fun. - Flying Out

Genre-bending Tropical Fuck Storm present their highly anticipated fourth album, Fairyland Codex, on their new label home 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 litter the impending collapse of society.
 
Acidic, acerbic, anarchic; Tropical Fuck Storm's command of wordplay, undercut by snarling guitars, pulsing rhythms, and explosive salvos, populates a hinterland between light and dark. The vocal interplay between Liddiard and the soaring harmonies of Kitschin and Dunn creates a teetering balancing act that’s intensified by the frantic narratives that evolve from their collective psyche.
Tropical Fuck Storm formed when guitarist and vocalist Gareth Liddiard and bassist and vocalist Fiona Kitschin’s previous band, The Drones, went on hiatus in 2016. Joined by guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist Erica Dunn and drummer Lauren Hammel, the group has released a string of critically acclaimed albums and gained a reputation for their incendiary live shows.
