Orlando musician Eva Strangelace has lived many musical lives locally, whether with Call In Dead, M.A.C.E. or Caustic Bats. But we’re irresistibly drawn to her latest eponymous project, Strangelace, wherein the transgender hellraiser displays a much more somber and reflective side — composing solo cello and voice soundscapes that are nothing less than hymns for a dying world. We’re reminded of the ghostly works released on seminal British label 4AD by artists like This Mortal Coil and Dead Can Dance, ethereal yet suffused with Floridian humidity.
