If I remember correctly, about a month ago we all learned together that tireless entrepreneur, hopeless romantic, and all-around spiffy glam cat Alex Cameron had just released a new single called “Miami Memory” in support of a fuck-ton of world-ish tour dates he’d be embarking upon (shiny shoes and all) this fall.
Well, guess what? Now we’ve got word that an entire album called Miami Memory is due to hit the ol’ shelves (as it were) on September 18 via Secretly Canadian. And that he’s offered-up another slice of glammed-up romance in the form of a new video for album track “Divorce.” AND that he’ll be touring EVEN MORE PLACES THAT AREN’T MIAMI, FLORIDA in the final quarter of 2019.
Per the album’s press release, Miami Memory is something of a lusty, bitchy, sexy, tense, boring, cheery, weepy “love letter” to his partner, with all the warts and vulnerability on display. “These are true stories, of actual events,” Cameron says, “specific but never esoteric[…] graphic but never offensive. Miami Memory is the story of a couple balancing sex with contemporary family values…it’s my gift to my girlfriend, a symbol to hoist on the totem of love.”
Speaking of romantic gifts: how does a new single called “Divorce” sound??? (Oh jeez, don’t worry: Cameron “consistently resists the obvious by juxtaposing his explorations of intimate tensions against cheery instrumentation”). Check out a video clip for the song down below…followed by the album art and full tracklist…followed by all those now-zillions of tour dates which STILL don’t go anywhere near Miami, Florida.
Oh yeah, and pre-order Miami Memory on basically any format you want over here.
