The Sorrow Of Two Blooms vinyl

The Sorrow Of Two Blooms sees Tropic Of Cancer's Camella Lobo and Juan Mendez excel, ploughing further into the sonic mists, though there's a certain spectral delight to how the opening track unfolds, with Lobo's voice drenched beneath the reverberant drone but clinging to foggy strings that embellish the track with a certain degree of light. The languid thump of "Temporal Vassels" lays Lobo's vocals so deep in the mix you are worried she's trapped down a well whilst "Dive (Wheel Of The Law)" is perhaps Tropic Of Cancer at their mystifying, bewitchingly hypnotic best. Spread across the B Side, it comes cloaked in viscous fuzz, Lobo's yearning yet indecipherable vocals seemingly glued to the pensive guitar lines. The result is utterly captivating. The point where people discuss the merits of Tropic Of Cancer without feeling the need to mention the disparate relationship of their sound with Mendez's Silent Servant endeavours should be arriving sooner rather than later on the evidence of this release.
