Camera – The Panic
And The Permanence
2013, Camera

Art rock might not be the right term to describe Camera’s
third album, The Panic And The Permanence,
but you might be hard pressed come up with another moniker that fit quite so
well. Camera approaches every song they
touch with a hint of punk attitude.
Their off-kilter pop sensibilities can be jarring at times, and the band
has no pro-forma conceptions about song structure. What they do have is an eclectic rock sound
that’s a mix of the B-52’s, The Bogmen and Green Jelly. Highlights include the dark, catchy gem
“Grazed By Bullets”, “Pop Radio 101” and “Buried Alive”. Camera can be maddening at times as well,
falling into musical mood swings that leave the listener out in the cold,
wondering what just happened. Despite
this, The Panic And The Permanance charms
with its rough cut humor and ‘tell it like it is’ attitude.
