Tropical Fuck Storm's "Soft Power", from their wild LP "A Laughing Death in Meatspace".

So many good tracks from this album, but this one is particularly notable for the geopolitics angle. The titular refrain comes from Joseph Nye's concept of soft power, the cultural and social influence of a nation, posited as the other bilateral avenue of global hegemony distinct from its counterpart, hard power, representing military force and thereby influence.

This one's definitely got a little "orange man bad" flavor to it, but is a little bit less just about that and more about the geopolitical power vacuum left in the wake of the amerikkkan empire voluntarily slam-dunking itself into the shitter, particularly when it comes to having any meaningful influence on the world via culture or human rights or anything like that.

If the style grabs you at all, check out Gareth's other work with The Drones, really fantastic off-kilter aussie-rock, with some of the weirdest and wildest guitar tones out there.
