The third album from the avant-punk quad-aptly titled 'Deep States', mines familiar ground as well as new cultural terrains, while digging deeper into the subjective state of contemporary panic. What makes Tropical Fuck Storm intriguing is the intersection between their dark but satiric storytelling and the musical arrangements. Musically, 'Deep States' goes wherever it wants, riffing on pop, R&B, Talking Heads-style new wave, Delta blues, Tom Waits, and some of the band's hip-hop favorites such as Wu-Tang Clan and Missy Elliot.
