Tropic of Cancer – L.O.V.E. Feelings

Biography
Drenched in romanticism and soaked in themes of solitude, mortality and love,
Tropic of Cancer’s music forms a strangely hypnotic connection with its listener.
Camella Lobo’s majestic vocals, warmly cradled by waves of ascending synths,
plangent guitar, and foreboding beats, summon the listener into a world of dark
decadence and delicate beauty.
For a start, their devotees really are a disparate bunch: card-carrying Tropic of Cancer fans include techno refugees, dedicated shoegazers, dapper goths, paisley psych revivalists, minimal synth nerds and pop pickers; what links them all is that they care deeply about music, and have a weakness for morbid romanticism. The sound Tropic of Cancer make is ethereal and elusive but also exacting – their lyrics are barely discernible, and yet this is music that really connects, really communicates.
I keep writing ‘they’ and ‘their’, but ‘she and ‘hers’ would be more accurate: Tropic of Cancer is one woman, Camella Lobo. What began as a collaboration with her partner Juan Mendez (best known for his work on Sandwell District as Silent Servant) has developed into a solo project, culminating in the release this month of an EP on Italy’s Mannequin label entitled Permissions Of Love… rest of the text could be found here: http://www.factmag.com/2012/05/16/tropic-of-cancer-love-death-and-choosing-between-blondes-and-brunettes/

a prerequisite to finding this group boring: one must be sharp as a soggy dog turd.

It makes you seem like a child if your only criticism is saying it's "boring."

I must admit I'm a little bit in love with Camella Lobo from afar. She really speaks to me.

I have Dive (Wheel of the Law) healing/feeding my emotions on constant loop right now (thank you bleep comp.). I hope the rest is just as good; as this sounds incomplete on its own.
