In February, they released ‘Handbrake’it nudged the indie movement forwards by beefing up the sounds of Pete & The Pirates. This time round, they have upped the ante with a shove.
The pop immediacy of Two Door Cinema Club and The Wombats comes racing to the surface, but, Camens have something extra. Just a little splice of aggression, an uncertainty and menace lifting it to pastures new.
Scott Powell’s vocals, bitter, sniping and full of relationship bile are sublime. Despite the rage, you’ll be hard pressed not to laugh at the wry brilliance of “I don’t have a bendy toothbrush like you”.
Despite everything that’s going on, Camens are beginning to own 2020 with their boisterous, intelligent indie rock.
