The Glitter End [CD]

L.A.'s sci-fi priestess is a unique talent. Los Angeles is a trip. And currently the music emanating from this West Coast dreamland are spinning heads like no others. Diva Dompe is central to this L.A. renaissance, having founded the fabulously costumed trio BlackBlack with her sister Lola; thrown down sinewy bass grooves as a member of the sadly missed Pocahaunted and grown into a key member of the sublime L.A. Ladies Choir. Not to mention her work as an exhibiting artist, model and vegan chef of course. Busy times! The Glitter End is Diva's first solo shot and it's a fantastic piece of work. 80s noir rubs shoulders with vibrant tropiclia and mutated pop forms in this mysterious netherworld: You could imagine these unsettling yet wonderfully warm tunes seeping from a late night house party in Mulholland Drive (a useful geographical and fictional reference point).
