Satanic Slumber Party is a collaborative EP by Australian-rock bands Tropical Fuck Storm and King Gizzard &the Lizard Wizard,released on March 14,2022 as a surprise release. The second track on the album,"Midnight in Sodom" had a music video released in promotion of the EP alongside the release of the record. It was directed by Nina Renee and Tropical Fuck Storm. [1] [2] The album was released digitally,and as a 7" EP. [3] A limited edition 12" would be released titled "Hat Jam" that featured the EP and "The Dripping Tap". [2] The cover art was made by Satomi Matsuzaki of the band Deerhoof. [2] NME has described the EP as having influence from "Noise pop". [3]
According to Tropical Fuck Storm bassist Fiona Kitschin,King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard were recording their fourteenth studio album, Fishing for Fishies at a house the band owned. One day while they were recording the album,the band and Tropical Fuck Storm all wore hats and recorded a jam called "Hat Jam". King Gizzard would use the jam as a basis for their 2022 song "The Dripping Tap",while Tropical Fuck Storm turned it into Satanic Slumber Party. [3] The EP was first teased in August 2021,when Gareth Liddiard announced that a collaboration between the two bands would be on the way on Reddit. [4] According to the Bandcamp description,the fictional background for the EP is:
"Somewhere along a frayed thread of time,a King Gizz and a Tropical Fuck Storm convened under the cloak of night for a slumber party of the satanic persuasion…Pumped full of booze and adrenaline,two of psych-rock’s most powerful joined forces for a 20-minute “Hatjam”chockfull of sax skronks,brick-heavy distortion,and punchy riffs. Satanic Slumber Party arrives just in time for your possessed pleasure." [5]
Fiona Kitschin has described the EP as “four guitars,three drummers,two synths,bass,harmonica,electronic sax and lots of singers and silliness. It’s like ‘Love Shack’by the B-52’s except it’s evil.” [6]
All tracks are written by Tropical Fuck Storm, Stu Mackenzie, Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Joey Walker, Cook Craig, Michael Cavanagh.
