Camea At Juno Download

Review: Camea resides in Berlin and its influence looms large on this release. It's audible on "Body Magnet", where a resonating bass and metal-plated percussion support evocative chords and half-heard vocals. It's like a halfway house between Berlin's techno and deep house sounds. There's a similar approach on the title track, with a dislocated vocal played out over a stripped back arrangement. However, it's "Only the Shadow Knows" and "Skitz" that best capture the mood of Berlin: in the case of the former it's the heavy sub-bass wound around a minimal house groove, while the latter brings Camea's love of half-heard vocals to the fore again - this time they are surrounded by forceful filters.
