I've invented fake news as a genre of music," Gareth Liddiard observes with a laugh. He's talking about "Maria 63", the closing track on Tropical Fuck Storm's sophomore LP Braindrops. The song takes aim at the once-marginalized alt-right conspiracy theories that now seem to be a driving force behind the rise of fascism in global politics. "It may be the most stupid song ever written," Liddiard jokes. He's wrong, "Maria 63" is emblematic of Tropical Fuck Storm's keen ability to mine the extreme edge of pop culture's periphery for potent musical and conceptual spice. Tropical Fuck Storm were formed around 2017 in the city of Melbourne, Victoria along Australia's south-eastern coast.
