CAMERAS
Conflicting yet cohesive, Sydney’s CAMERAS offer a distinctive two-sided sound. With two songwriters sharing lead vocal duties, the trio intertwine a dizzying intensity with a haunting atmosphere.
Fraser Harvey’s big progressive guitar sound juxtaposes with Eleanor Dunlop’s hypnotizing vocals and classically trained keys, making CAMERAS a beautiful collision of polar opposites - the anthemic crescendo of Arcade Fire meeting the smoky etherealness of Cat Power. But the reference points come from further and wider than that. Thumb through their record collections and you’ll find The Eurythmics alongside The White Stripes, Paul Simon next to The Velvet Underground, and Blondie, Radiohead and David Bowie all rubbing shoulders. With such eclectic influences, CAMERAS do not slot snugly into any particular genre, nor would they want to.
Epically sound-tracking the sweeping landscapes of your emotions, while remaining infectious enough to dance your legs off to on a Saturday night, CAMERAS are one of the most intriguing, artistic and unique bands in Australia.
