Cameras - Defeatist



Favorite lyrics: There’s never been so much to fake

With that low Cure voice paired with a light mimic of softer vocals, this song has you at first harmony. The backup singing is gorgeous and entirely noticeable in a way it's usually not, and the background music is the same. It's continuous and builds an affect to the song that keeps it moving quickly - almost too quickly, like another verse or chorus could be added and you would still beg for more. There's not a lot of lyrics to this song, but there's something about the way they're arranged that's kind of brilliant and almost Bowie-ish. The video is pretty fantastic too: a murderous spoon-stealing wolf that makes the quirky bow-peep fall in love, a dark retelling of a child's fairy tale.

Glitter Pox rating: 85% contagious

Hope you catch it,
