Artist
– Album: The Hidden Cameras - Awoo
Released: 4th September 2006
Sounds
Like: “gay church folk”
As for folk, well, there’s definitely some folkier moments here in the likes of ‘Fee Fie’ and ‘Follow These Eyes’, but that’s just one of a number of touchstones. There’s a rolling rock in the form of ‘Death of a Tune’ and delicious twee pop in ‘For Fun’ and ‘She’s Gone’. ‘Lollipop’ is their attempt at ‘It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)’. Then there’s the unclassifiable, yet awesomely infectious, title track.
It may be slightly overproduced, and some of Gibbs’ brainwaves towards the end of the record don’t feel entirely thought out, but this is still a hugely enjoyable album. Three words to describe it? Contagious, gorgeous indie-pop (Hyphens count right??)
