The purity below
The elegant Ms. Cameron Ember is back again. Her latest release, The Convenience of Fascism, is also her second collaboration with Jerry Vessel and Anthony Koutsos of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon.
The Convenience of Facism is rife with shoegazey pop melodies that are flawlessly accompanied by Cameron's sweet voice. Vocal talent which reminds us of Josephine Wiggs – though Cameron definitely has a talent for articulating human melancholy, but doing so in a way that is musically pleasant and sweet. Her lyrics fearlessly explore the darker side of closely-held American sentimentalities, lacing them with tears, hurt, and emptiness.
