Tropic Gold Lay Everything Bare on SICK TO DEATH OF EVERYTHING
South East England trio and Novacaine Festival 2026 sub-headliners Tropic Gold returned with their most emotionally exposed work to date: the new EP SICK TO DEATH OF EVERYTHING, released 7th March 2026 via UNFD.
The band describe the record as the product of an intensely difficult period, with its title capturing the mental and emotional headspace that shaped its creation. Across the EP, Tropic Gold lean into a starkly honest exploration of instability, uncertainty, and self-perception, framing the project as both catharsis and communication.
“SICK TO DEATH OF EVERYTHING had everything poured into it over some really difficult times. The name sums up what was, and has been, going through our heads. It’s our most honest and vulnerable body of work, and we hope that people hear it and connect so they understand they aren’t alone with day-to-day instability of mental health, life uncertainty, and self-loathing.”
Released alongside the EP, the single THE ANGELS ARE GONE has already surpassed 34,000 YouTube plays. Serving as a direct thematic continuation from the EP’s opening track, the song responds to the question “How do you feel?”, spiralling into a portrayal of emotional collapse and internal disorientation.
“‘THE ANGELS ARE GONE’ plays on as a lyric response to the question from the end of the introduction track opening the EP, that being ‘How do you feel?’ The track’s intention was to feel like a downward spiral when your head is just wrecked and in all the wrong places, with the chorus stating ‘I need a reason to stay, ’cos the angels are gone.’”
Across SICK TO DEATH OF EVERYTHING, Tropic Gold channel lived experience into a cohesive and unflinchingly personal statement, one that positions the EP as both a release of accumulated emotional weight and an attempt to articulate what often remains unspoken.
