Rock

I am a singer/songwriter from the Sunshine Coast, Australia. I started High Tropics in the wake of my old band The Ninjas. The venture exists in multiple entities; a recording project, a live band, and an ever-growing vehicle of self-expression that I am excited to bring on-chain thanks to Sound.

I got into NFT’s in October of 2021 and quickly became immersed, so much so that I started neglecting music and health and slowly fell into a state of depression and constant procrastination. One morning I finally said enough is enough and bunkered myself inside the studio (spare bedroom) for the day and wrote and recorded ‘Loaded’. 

I am incredibly honoured to add some garage/surf rock to Sound and as such will be rewarding all collectors with an airdrop post mint. Likewise, all holders will receive priority access to the next HT drop, as well as continued benefits into the future as the High Tropics universe expands both on and off chain. 

Loaded #14

High Tropics

Waterfalls is one of my best performing songs on DSP's with it currently sitting just under 1 million streams. Where Loaded was more of a fun song without any deep meaning, writing Waterfalls was a far more cathartic experience for me. It's about trying to let go of the things the subconscious holds onto, which I think anyone with neurotic tendencies will be able to relate to.

This will be a free mint, with all collectors of Loaded being able to mint first.

Yo guys my name is SLOE JACK. I’m so stoked to be back on Sound to celebrate the arrival of my new track “Mine”. This track describes being in a relationship where the good moments are few and far between. It has you stuck in a loop that leaves you unfulfilled and bitter. This relationship is destructive and the cycle needs to be broken before the love consumes both of you.

I’m really happy with how this track came out. The guitars are super crunchy and vocal flows give it a distinct flavour in my opinion. I had a great time writing this one and I hope you can hear it in my delivery!

Finally, I’d like to thank the crew at Sound for having me back on their platform. It is such a valuable resource for creators, I'm forever thankful <3

MINE #12

SLOE JACK

My name is SLOE JACK. I’m a nineteen-year-old punk/pop artist from Melbourne, Australia.

My debut track, “Number”, outlines heartbreak, betrayal and how difficult it can be to trust someone after being stabbed in the back. Meeting people after a bad relationship is basically just red flag hunting, a search for reasons to flee the scene to defend yourself from previous traumas. When I wrote this song I wanted the lyrics to be blatant and honest. We’re talking about straight-up relationship anxiety here, so why not lay it out bare.

All I used to listen to as a kid was dubstep. As a result of listening to straight square waves for my entire childhood, I have an instinctual and inhuman urge to distort every sound I throw at my track, no matter the genre. People ask me, “how do I achieve the SLOE JACK sound?” All you gotta do is disregard all production standards and get weird.

Big thanks to the Sound team for giving me this opportunity and to Dreams Never Die for releasing my debut track! I feel so fortunate to be involved in the first season of Sound and I will never forget this moment.

High Tropics - You Never Made it Easy

My Genesis NFT, One of One.

This song changed my life and propelled it in a direction I could never expect. It's reached millions of people who somehow have also felt the way I have while making it.

This song started in the backseat of a car; parked in an underpass. I vented and emoted. Creating it was a process of exploration. A voice memo with hums, beatboxing, laughter, sniffles, whistles, and belts all came together to create a song that resonates with those that felt defeated but sought self-improvement. We know better but somehow fall to our vices.

Here's to encouragement,
Enjoy 🥃

RÜDE CÅT - Brown Liquor

RÜDE CÅT

Hey guys it’s SLOE JACK. I’m beyond excited to be back on Sound to premiere my upcoming track, “SLOW DOWN”. It is one of the 4 new singles on my debut project, ‘BACKSTAB’.

“SLOW DOWN” is about having big dreams in a room full of doubters. As someone who grew up in a small country town, I quickly learned that the people I surround myself with will determine my future. This song talks about the judgement that surrounded me before I moved to the city and the importance of self belief. 

This is the focus track off my debut EP ‘BACKSTAB’. 

‘BACKSTAB’ dives into the events of my abusive upbringing and my life-long battle with trauma and self sabotage. It dissects the moment in my life where I reject happiness and stability in pursuit of chaos. This project was very therapeutic to write!

Finally, I’d like to thank everyone at Sound for welcoming me back on their platform. I am so thankful for the opportunity!

The first official WesGhost release “Sleepwalking” is the very beginning of my story through the sounds inside my head. I’ve always been felt like an outcast & wanted to make music for people that don’t feel seen just like me. This song is about wanting to stay in that dream state & never wanting to wake up & face the world alone. Influenced by my love for 90s/00s alternative & hip hop, “Sleepwalking” is the very first chapter inside the mind of a ghost.
