Aussie synth pop artist Alex Cameron has been steadily building a profile since his celebrated debut solo LP “Jumping the Shark” was issued as a free download on his website in 2013.
Receiving a huge boost via a release through respected indie label Secretly Canadian (The War On Drugs, Jens Lekman) last August, Cameron was invited to support US alt. rock duo Foxygen after the band described his live show as ‘One of the most memorable, moving concerts I have or will ever witness’.
An engaging, idiosyncratic performer, backed by saxophonist Roy Molloy, Cameron supported The Killers at their Hyde Park gig this Summer.
Approvingly described by US punk icon Henry Rollins as being ‘Right out of a David Lynch hell dream!’ Pitchfork stated ‘Cameron’s efficient, minimal compositions create the type of songs that penetrate deeply and linger in your consciousness long after you’ve stopped listening to them’.

If you haven’t listened to Alex Cameron’s work before, you should know Cameron has never shied away from less-savory topics in his music. On Jumping the Shark, his Secretly Canadian debut, the 28-year-old Australian native inhabited the psyches of wild, far-out characters, crafting a bleak, immersive world. His forthcoming LP, Forced Witness, due out September 8th, continues in that same vein: a danceable and dangerous earnestness, a sense of honesty that heals and relieves, even as it cleaves us or makes us laugh in self-defense. Once again, Cameron offers us vivid portraits of misfits who look at the world without illusion.

Discovering the album Jumping The Shark last year was truly one of the greatest discoveries I’ve made, and Alex Cameron is amongst the most electrifying and mesmerising characters in music right now.

Recorded in Berlin, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, and produced by Cameron along with Foxygen‘s Jonathan Rado, these tracks at first seem shamelessly entertaining, the driving rhythms and rousing melodies embellished at every turn by Roy Molloy‘s warm horn work. But the love songs and anthems of personal resilience contain as much raw humanity as they do a savvy grasp of the impossible loneliness of the times, especially apparent in the song, “Stranger’s Kiss”  Cameron’s affecting duet with Angel Olsen (who also sings backup on lead single, “Candy May”).
