1 The One Left

2 Beneath The Light

3 It's All Come Undone

Brand new 12'' from Tropic of Cancer, one the most important realities in the modern post-punk and darkwave scene !

This EP gathers the primal thrust of their bleak Post-Punk (think about Cultural Decay shaking hands with Section 25 in their psychedelic/buddhist years) and Minimal Wave aesthetics with this entirely new dimension in the music of TOC – heartfelt and deep. Cold waves have never been so warm.


"Essentially the solo project of LA-based Camella Lobo, with contributions from John Mendez (aka Sandwell District’s Silent Servant) and Taylor Burch, Tropic of Cancer’s at once funereal and exhilaratingly romantic sound – with perfect pop hooks buried deep under oceans of reverb – has earned them a considerable, and well-deserved, cult following. The three songs that make up Permissions of Love reinforce their trademark style (and what style it is), while adding some new elements: piercing guitar chimes on ‘The One Left’, waltz-time rhythm on ‘Beneath The Light’, near-ambient synthesizer wash on ‘It’s All Come Undone’"-FACT Mag
