Cathedral

Damon Eliza Palermo returns to Lovers Rock with Cathedral, an EP of inky, shadowy atmospheres. Opening with the stunning title track, Palermo summons a hi-def miasma of gongs and synths, searching and incantatory. Congquin’ rumbles through a tar pit of groaning static and radio interference, while Karangahape Road’ floats through 5+ minutes of undulating sighs. Finally Cathedral’ gets reworked for the dance floor with an extended, exuberant techno meltdown.
