With a penchant for word-play that I dare to call Morrissey-esque, Roddy Frame exhibits a maturity beyond his years on this early effort. Vocally, Frame sounds like many of the Brit-indie-rockers of the era (although he hails from Scotland), with his understated, yet emotive style. And Camera creates the fine, melodic landscape for Frame's expression. The music recalls a synth-ier version of the early efforts of their contemporary, Everything But the Girl. Add Morrissey-type lyricism (without the wailing gloom) and you get mature, romantic, poetic music at it's 80's best...
