Tropic Gold Unveils "A PLACE CALLED EUPHORIA"
On December 3, 2024, alternative rock band Tropic Gold released their latest single "A PLACE CALLED EUPHORIA" via UNFD, accompanied by an official music video2. The track serves as the third release from their upcoming album and showcases a more intense, metalcore-influenced sound compared to their previous work.
"A PLACE CALLED EUPHORIA" delves into the negative impact of the internet on people's minds, exploring how it creates a false sense of euphoria through the spread of misinformation and the glorification of unrealistic ideologies. The band comments, "The internet has damaged the minds of so many people and it's changed the world forever, it leaves you with a false sense of EUPHORIA because nothing is real and all people do is compare themselves to fake projections of happiness".
Musically, the track features atmospheric soundscapes, punchy melodies, and a blend of robotic vocals and chanting lyrics. The instrumentation includes gnarly guitars and whining synths, creating an ethereal undercurrent that complements the song's narrative. The production, mixed by Rhys May and mastered by Ste Kerry, maintains a refined yet raw emotional quality.
