Paris Paloma on her debut album, 'Cacophony' Enlarge this image toggle caption Phoebe Fox/Courtesy of the artist Phoebe Fox/Courtesy of the artist Set List "last woman on earth" "the warmth" "labour" The first song Paris Paloma ever recorded in a studio was "labour." Paloma, who grew up in Derbyshire, England, wanted to be a writer when she was younger, so it's not a surprise that her debut album, Cacophony, is quite literary. The record takes loose inspiration from Joseph Campbell's thoughts on the hero's journey. This episode of World Cafe was produced and edited by Miguel Perez.
