Tropical Fuck Storm return with ‘New Romeo Agent‘, the latest taster of their incoming new album, Deep States, out August 20th via Tropical Fu*k Storm Records. Erica Dunn taking the lead vocals for spooky, sweetly sad and off-kilter track, that finds her recalling a world-weary Debbie Harry. ‘New Romeo Agent’ serves lashings of melody within the feedback-heavy arrangements present on ‘Deep States’.
“Our love & death tragedy-ballad kicks off in the aftermath of Octavia Butler’s short story Amnesty where a translator for the human race infiltrates an alien community Cold War Romeo agent style,” says Erica. “Sent to collect secrets and glean intelligence, against all odds, the undercover spy falls in love. As our human/alien Amores connect in an intimate new language, they decide to make a run for it. We glimpse an oasis of hope in defiance of the violence and backstabbery of their masters. We imagine a tropical island of romance in an icy sea devoid of solar warmth. We look back on the spinning wheel of progress and feel that all the desperation, despair and heartache of the past could finally be worth it for this moment, a conquest of love! A clock striking for a new age! But they get murdered. The end.”
Brutal.
Appropriately enough, ‘New Romeo Agent’ comes accompanied by an intergalactic karaoke odyssey of a video, directed by Oscar O’Shea, that sees TFS playing as captives in an alien dive bar.
Tropical Fuck Storm announced their return with studio LP number three, Deep States, due out August 20th (pre orders now open) via TFS Records. This week they are stoked to announce an accompanying national tour this August and September, Tickets on sale 9am AEST Thursday July 8th, 2021.
