BUTT TUNES

When we heard the news that another record by The Hidden Cameras was on the way this winter, we eagerly awaited another brilliant genre-hopping collection of tunes from the band's leader Joel Gibb. This new record, 'Age', which features Barbara Kruger-esque cover artwork and some darker numbers, sees Joel playing around with minor keys. We were totally blown away by the album's unexpected foray into dub midway through: the smoky, reverb-drenched 'Afterparty'.

‘Afterparty’ by The Hidden Cameras

‘Neath the wind
Blown away
Had I known
I would have fled

Through the park
Down the lane
Many eyes
Mine knee to nape

You don’t, you don’t
You don’t, you don’t
You don’t, you don’t
You don’t…

You need to follow who someone that’s not you
You need to find someone that’s not right

That’s all there is, is the afterparty
That’s all there is, is the afterparty
That’s all there is, is petty cash
That’s all there is, the pressure
The pleasure
The pressure
The pleasure

We carry on
Through the blaze
Find the guy
Who has a place

You need to feel someone that’s not real
And you need to find someone that’s not right

That’s all there is, is the afterparty
That’s all there is, is the afterparty
That’s all there is, is pocket cash
That’s all there is, the pressure
The pleasure
The pressure
The pleasure

Supporting the release of ‘Age’, The Hidden Cameras play Bush Hall tonight from 7:30 P.M. at 310 Uxbridge Road in London, W12 7LJ. Get up-to-date on the tour and latest news at their dedicated Hidden Cameras website.
