The beaut presence of God is palpable, embodied in the sublime melodies of her opus, ‘Cape God.’ Though I was unable to attend the celestial Cape God concert myself, I was compelled to seek out those, known as X’s, who had borne witness to the divine spectacle.

I embarked on a spiritual journey to uncover the transcendental essence of gothy synthpop savant Allie X’s ‘Cape God 5 Year Reunion Tour’ at the Webster Hall in New York City, inspirited by the hazy crimson glow of a documentary on the harrowing opioid crisis, weaving a tale of a mythical seaside town, where decadence dances hand in hand with a haunting melancholia that runs deep within its very core.
