MMW: Tropic of Cancer

Saturday, February 15th, 2014 // Blogs,MMW

Tropic of Cancer is a duo consisting of Camella Lobo and Juan Mendez (otherwise known as Silent Servant). Lobo’s music is dark, delicate, and melancholy, evoking themes of solitude and morbid romanticism. Though the group does not fall cleanly into any specific musical category, it is reminiscent of shoe-gaze, techno, goth, and minimal synth wave. If you are interested in exploring bands in a similar vein, you can look into other producers signed to Lobo’s label (Blackest Ever Black), which is currently based in Berlin and offers groups with similar new wave and goth-inspired electronic tropes.
