Uncut
These are tender anthems, even if some won't be readily singing lines like "eating your ass like an oyster" in a festival field. Print edition only

Under The Radar
This is Cameron's first album fully recorded in America, and as such he utilizes a range of sounds and genres reflecting that such as the brilliant "Bad For the Boys," a bar-rock exposition on various awful men

Exclaim
Cameron reports from society's deplorable underbelly with compassion, or at the very least understanding. An exciting and unique voice

It can be difficult to digest the combination of super-catchy pop hooks and shocking or gross lyrics on Miami Memory, but both are essential for the complex, cynical fiction Cameron has been building on all his albums.

Gig Soup
Alex Cameron’s third effort is by some lengths his biggest departure. His songs still largely mock a certain type of man: the mistakes and results of toxic masculinity shadow the songs.
