<a href="/tags/alex-cameron">Alex Cameron</a>’s fifth studio album ‘Late to Set’ arrives on 24 July, bringing another collection of sharply drawn characters, uncomfortable humour and polished pop arrangements into the release week. The album was introduced through ‘Red Hook Rain’ and accompanies tour dates across North America and Europe, including appearances connected to <a href="/tags/the-strokes">The Strokes</a>.
Cameron has long specialised in songs where questionable narrators reveal more than they intended, often over music shiny enough to distract from the social wreckage occurring underneath. ‘Late to Set’ is therefore an appropriate title.
His characters frequently arrive after the important choices have already been made and then spend three verses explaining why everything remains technically under control. The record marks his first album since ‘Oxy Music’ and continues a career built around turning failure, masculinity and delusion into pop songs that remain funny until the joke suddenly looks familiar.
