Mikey) on:Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/3W0VWYa8ruYoR7tIGN77mNApple Music https://music.apple.com/us/artist/tony-gravel/1575765724 After the viral success of 2022’s folk punk’s classic ‘Vodka and Heroin’, Tony of Tony & Gravel wanted to try something a little different. “Tropic Thunderground” is a chill and experimental indie hip-hop single recorded in Spokane, Washington, and mastered by Christopher H Fogal at Black in Bluhm. The song comes from late-night conversations about time, loss, and self-acceptance.Tony says,“This song was written arbitrarily purely for the purpose just to write a fun song with your friends. I just wanted a hyped up song. I grabbed my best friend who can spit, put a ribbon on it and there’s Tropic Thunderground. Although acoustic is still my primary shit, I finally live somewhere stable where I have the time and means to explore different styles of music!” Tony & Gravel are a nomadic acoustic duo blending folk, old-time Americana, and punk rock. Their music is built on raw, heartfelt lyrics and melodies that linger long after the last note. Best friends since 2007, the pair have been making music together for over a decade, sometimes loud and energetic, sometimes slow and somber, but almost always tinged with a charming mix of nihilism and stubborn optimism. |
