“Buoyed by pop nous and joyfulness… Truly there’s no one else like them” 4/5 Q

The Hidden Cameras bring their revered live show over from Toronto for a full UK headline tour in March, playing a very special show at St Leonard’s Church in Shoreditch on the 18th of March. To accompany the tour, new single ‘Underage / Origin: Orphan’ will be released on the 22nd March following on from a re-release of their latest album ‘Origin: Orphan’ on the 15th March through Arts and Crafts. Full tour dates are below.

The Hidden Cameras’ fourth album proper was somewhat of a sleeper hit at the end of 2009, slowly but surely gaining critical acclaim around its original release in November, with The Guardian even giving it a perfect score of 5/5.

‘Origin: Orphan’ is the sound of a band coming of age, displaying sophisticated and intelligent pop songwriting paired with their trademark playfulness and risqué lyrical content. A band who revel in their wonderful contradictions, the new single reflects this unique trait with a double A side single ‘Underage / Origin: Orphan’; two tracks that couldn’t be more different.

‘Underage’ is a joyful synth pop romp that teeters on the controversial with lyrics like “Lets do it like we’re underage… you’ll pretend you’re seven I’ll pretend I’m eight”. In fact, it’s about the rediscovery of innocence, unlike it’s disturbing title suggests. On the flip side, title track ‘Origin: Orphan’ is perhaps the climax of the album, a very dramatic and introspective number backed by grand orchestration and epic chamber pop.
