NOW ITS DARK CLUBNIGHT live:
TROPIC OF CANCER | shoegaze | los angeles
After three sold-out releases on labels Blackest Ever Black and
Downwards, Tropic of Cancer are finally touring Europe with a
forthcoming release on Mannequin Records.
The band consists of Camella Lobo and Juan Mendez, widely known for
his minimal techno output as Silent Servant on the darkly heralded
Sandwell District label.
Blending bleak minimal electronics and gorgeously mournful vocals
with the production of Martin Hannett and the spirit of post-punk
and industrial underpinnings, Tropic Of Cancer have stoked their
slow burning reputation into the makings of what is being referred
to as a 'modern classic.' Though Tropic Of Cancer's sound has been
called gothic, cold wave and drone pop, the band's take on their
influences is anything but nostalgic. Lobo and Mendez have managed
to imbue their own elusive gaze and craft a strangely beautiful and
intoxicating sound in the wake of their predecessors.

Is this a cover of "life by the sea" by a Belgian band called "The Names" ?
