The opening track of the debut solo record (released for free on alexcamerononline.net.au, the Greatest Website Of 2013) from the newly vocal Seekae frontman Alex Cameron is a simple affair, meditating on lo-fi keyboard with a croon that deviates between self-awareness and unreliable narrator with affecting savvy. It’s a nostalgic brand of pathetic, the protagonist stroking their ego despite a perceived disenfranchisement – “I know I’m living with my folks now, but I can still get around, and I don’t even have to pay rent.” There’s an overwhelming beauty in its sheer simplicity.
