Tropic of Cancer

Over the last five years, Tropic Of Cancer has developed a strict esthetic and an obsessive international following. The brainchild of one entrancing Californian, Camella Lobo, the group casts its spell in the form of monochromatic, limited-run vinyl releases and hypnotic live appearances. Sonically, the project is very specific; Lobo & Co. build an alluring ambience through mid-tempo, synth-driven pop music that often get mislabeled as ‘gothic’ by the uninitiated. While the waves are decidedly cold and the mood perfectly grim, we feel that Tropic Of Cancer is better understood in the lineage of weighty decadence propagated by timeless creators like Arthur Rimbaud or Factory Records. Lobo’s vocals float incandescent and free above the blackened mood of constriction.
