ANNOUNCE SUBMERSIVE BEHAVIOUR 12″, OUT 3RD FEB ON JOYFUL NOISE RECORDINGS“There are few artists better suited to essay this wild, paranoid era than Gareth Liddiard.” – MOJO, 4/5 “Woozy yet spiky guitars that ricochet between cacophonous fury and simmering tension underpin the band’s sound, as it traverses across as many genres as it eschews.” – Uncut, 8/10 “In Tropical Fuck Storm’s determination to engage as fully as possible with the reality of human existence, in all its ugliness and contradictions, they are tapping into its truths. The results might be uncompromising, but they’re soulful too.” – The Quietus “Consistently inventive, thrillingly unpredictable and steeped in deadpan Australian humour.” – Classic Rock, 8/10 “Heavier, wilder and more faithful to their evocative ‘fuck storm’ promise than ever before.” – DIYToday Australia’s Tropical Fuck Storm announce their Submersive Behaviour 12″, arriving 3rd February on Joyful Noise Recordings. To accompany the news, they share new single ‘The Golden Ratio‘, which features on the 12″ alongside three tracks from their recent Moonburn EP and a thrilling 19-minute Jimi Hendrix cover. Listen to ‘The Golden Ratio’ here: https://youtu.be/sixKZP8ed_I Submersive Behaviour is the Australian art-punk combo’s take on the tried and true ‘covers record’ concept. Over the course of 36 minutes, TFS puts their deranged spin on classics by Jimi Hendrix, Middle Aged in the Middle East in the Middle Ages, Men Men Menstruation, Compliments to the Chef, and The Stooges. TFS’ Gareth Liddiard says: “Our version of 1983 A Merman I Shall Turn To Be is an attempt to right the recent wrongs perpetrated against Hendrix’s classic “Angel” by some idiot from One Direction doing a karaoke-style “tribute” for Jimi’s 80th birthday.”Subversive Behaviour guest stars TFS’ old kangaroo mates and collaborators Dan Kelly, the Bard of Beenleigh, and Aaron Cupples, the Earl of East Gippsland on octopus-like strings-man-ship, falsetto, and apocalyptic vibes. Subversive Behaviour features artwork by acclaimed underground illustrator Plastic Crimewave (Galactic Zoo Dossier magazine.)
