Hidden Cameras, The - The Smell of Our Own 2LP (20th anniv.)

Imagine a cross between Joy Division and Belle & Sebastian without the excessive melodrama. Add a splash of Beach Boys and Magnetic Fields and you get a clear picture of The Hidden Cameras’ musical approach and sound. This is indie pop music with influences ranging from psychedelia, folk and brit pop. The Hidden Cameras’ The Smell of our Own is not for the faint of heart. It is drenched with sexually illicit lyrics and bold statements of today’s socially and politically complex world.
