£27.99 – 1xLP, Limited Edition White Coloured Vinyl
The second release of soulful dark pop from legendary drummer, Dave Lombardo, and singer-songwriter, Paula Lombardo.
Obviously, the indefatigable Dave Lombardo’s bonafides as a world-class drummer are well-known. But while he drafted the blueprint that would define thrash-metal drumming, he’s also applied his finesse to solo percussion (2023’s Rites Of Percussion, also on Ipecac), hip hop and classical music, as well as boundary-pushing recordings and performances with everyone from John Zorn’s ensembles to punk icons Misfits and Mr. Bungle. To Cross… is another milestone in his storied career, where he’s added guitar, bass and considerable production techniques to his sonic skill-set. “The only thing that rivals how many drums we have [at home] is how many guitars Dave has,” says Paula, laughing. “So he plays guitar quite a bit on this album.”
Paula is truly a dynamic musical force powered with impressive vocal prowess, a deftness on piano and synthesizers and a great instinct for alluring lyrics, melodies and arrangements. At 18 years old, she was a backing singer as part of Las Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton’s enclave, which taught her grace under pressure when you’re performing multiple shows in an evening and perfection was demanded every day. She left Vegas to head to Nashville to continue her career in music, but by her own words, “It just wasn’t the right fit.”
