Gothic Tropic - Fast or Feast (Old Flame Records) 2017
7
Gothic Tropic’s debut album Fast or Feast has proven a long time in the making. After releasing a string of early singles last summer like album opener “Stronger” or the very danceable “How Life Works”, the Los Angeles artist seemingly went radio silent.
Vocalist and Guitarist Cecelia Della Peruti is not a newcomer to the Los Angeles music scene. After performing with a number of notable artists over the years and releasing a few songs, Della Peruti enlisted the help of a couple friends to record a series of shining 80s tinged psych rock tracks.
The album, released on Old Flame Records boasts 10 impressive songs highlighted by Della Peruti’s impressive guitar skills and soulful vocals. Moving between wailing solos and lush rhythmic guitar riffs, Gothic Tropic gives listeners a little bit of everything. Be it the catchy track “Don’t Give Me Up”, or inarguably cool “Chemical Trail” Della Peruti and company are sure to keep your feet moving.
