Los Angeles-based Tropic Of Cancer (Camella Lobo and Taylor Burch) make quietly unsettling, yet dazzlingly beautiful music with ethereal vocals, synthesizers and programmed drums and yearning guitars. Though her music has been labeled gothic, shoegaze and drone pop, Camella Lobo’s take on her influences is anything but nostalgic. Tropic Of Cancer has managed to imbue its own elusive gaze and craft a strangely beautiful and intoxicating sound in the wake of its predecessors.
The latest Tropic Of Cancer EP for Blackest Ever Black, Stop Suffering, examines the fragility of human emotion through solemn synthesizer work and funereal tempos. Stop Suffering is the the first collection of recordings from Lobo since Restless Idylls. It was simultaneously released with a BEB reissue of TOC's early Downwards material titled, Archive: The Downwards Singles (2007-2010). Tropic of Cancer spent 2016 playing shows in the US and abroad and will complete two tours in Europe in 2017. Lobo is currently working on her sophomore album.
