Permissions Of Love

limited to 500. essentially the solo project of la-based camella lobo, with contributions from john mendez (aka sandwell district's silent servant) and taylor burch (dva damas) and after two sold-out releases on labels blackest ever black and downwards, tropic of cancer have stoked their slow burning reputation into the makings of what isbeing referred to as a 'modern classic.' the three tracks on this new 12'' take us gently by the hand into a slowed-down opium dream - it's like watching the desert from the same stark corners where lycia stood many years ago. though tropic of cancer's sound has been called gothic, cold wave and drone pop, the band's take on their influences isanything 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 theirpredecessors.
