Amore del Tropico

The Black Heart Procession

A sprawling murder mystery told through smoky piano noir and ghostly singing saws. Dense, humid, and deeply cinematic indie rock for the dead of night.

Find on Amazon

It's like a 1940s murder mystery movie turned into a slow, haunting indie rock record.

A humid, suspenseful noir mystery that feels both romantic and deeply unsettling.
