“It’s about everyone having a screaming match,” Liddiard says. The bracing “The Planet of Straw Men” is a study of human behavior inside the social media comments section, a place where otherwise reasonable people are seen gleefully engaging in psychotic chest-thumping rhetoric. A recurring theme on Braindrops concerns the various ways the human brain can be manipulated and controlled for exploitative gain. “It’s not always a good idea to be too straightforward.” Instead Liddiard favors a “more nebulous and mysterious” approach. He describes the LP’s title track as “Fela Kuti in a car crash,” and talks of creating a sonic atmosphere that “sounds like chloroform smells” for “Maria 62.” Liddiard can be a bit more taciturn when asked to get specific on the group’s lyrical themes. Liddiard partly credits this to the group’s use of unconventional equipment, “We use lots of techno gear to make rock and roll because rock and roll gear is boring, and all sounds like Led Zeppelin.” Liddiard’s own description of Tropical Fuck Storm’s sound is nearly as interesting and evocative as the music itself. Tropical Fuck Storm have achieved a uniquely off-kilter sound on Braindrops. He cites Doc at the Radar Station-era Captain Beefheart as a key sonic touchstone, and Braindrops certainly shares the Captain’s penchant for pounding abstract grooves.

The whole album is full of weird beats, and just weird shit everywhere,” Liddiard explains. “Everything we do, we try to do it in a weird way. Perhaps it’s that wealth of rock and roll experience that allows Tropical Fuck Storm to so expertly deconstruct and distort the genre’s norms. Gareth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschin were part of the long-running and critically-acclaimed act The Drones, while Erica Dunn and Lauren Hammel have performed in a variety of well-received projects. Each of the band’s four members bring considerable experience to the group. The band released their debut long-player A Laughing Death in Meatspace on Joyful Noise Recordings in 2018. Tropical Fuck Storm formed around 2017 in the city of Melbourne, Victoria along Australia’s south-eastern coast.
