Tropic Of Cancer might be an incognito name to many, but it is only a new alias of John Mendez, AKA Silent Servant, who released a few impressive releases on the great Sandwell District imprint. Now he's out with an experimental ambient 10'' on the Downwards power house. Aiming more in the direction of their previous release "Radical simple practice" than the former harsh and acute techno, Tropic Of Cancer delivers two relaxing music, which does not quite fall in the ambient bin but can easily earn its place in any decent chill session

Tropic of Cancer - Victims. Artist: Tropic of Cancer. The End Of All Things' is Tropic Of Cancer's tender farewell note to Downwards, collecting their two 10"s for the label together with a cover of Soft Cell's '. Feelings' and new, unreleased material - seven tracks in total.

Of course Tropic of Cancer would go on to release the The Sorrow Of Two Blooms on Blackest Ever Black two years later, and much else since (including debut album Restless Idylls), but ‘The Dull Age’/‘Victims’, and its 2011 follow-up ‘Be Brave’, retain a special place in our heart, and now, as we prepare to release a new EP. from the band (Stop Suffering), we’re pleased to be able to resurrect them. More information: bi. y/1Q43bzw. released August 31, 2015. Written and produced by Camella Lobo & Juan Mendez. Recorded in Long Beach, CA and Minneapolis, MN, 2008-2009.

The dull age, victims (10 inch black vinyl repress). Downwards sidestep expectations again with this glorious limited 10inch vinyl release from Tropic of Cancer. Two beautifully dark compositions that remind slightly of Angelo Badalamenti in Twin Peaks< mode, or maybe Reservoir Dogs, if it had been filmed with a huge cavern as the soundstage. a little bit off-center.

Of course Tropic of Cancer would go on to release the The Sorrow Of Two Blooms on Blackest Ever Black two years later, and much else since (including debut album Restless Idylls), but ‘The Dull Age’/‘Victims’, and its 2011 follow-up ‘Be Brave’, retain a special place in our heart, and now, as we prepare to release a new E. It’s obvious now, as then, what the mesmerising, mantra-like ‘The Dull Age’ owes to the saturnine ambience of 4AD and the early ‘80s goth/post-punk nexus, but we’re freshly struck by the ancient folk-like purity of Lobo’s wordless, ship-swaying vocal refrain, and to the song’s clear echoes of Spector-grade 1950s. death-discs: with its bruised rock-a-bye backbeat, skeletal arrangement and deep canyons of echo, the DNA of ‘The Dull Age’ can, we’d argue, be traced right back to The Aquatones’ ‘You’ or The Paris Sisters’ ‘I Love How You Love Me’.
