"Are you kidding me? I walked up to the music listening station, tried this album out, and when I heard the first song, realized I was in heaven. Seriously! "Death of a Tune" has got to be the catchiest, sing-song alongiest, most infectious work in years. I can not understate my experience for the first few weeks listening to "AWOO". I was manic. Literally manic. Like I was high on drugs. The songs made me flat out, jaw-dropped manic. I rode an emotional boost every listen. I would share the album and if someone didn't like it, I would get angry. How is it possible people don't just immediately respond to the hooks, the folksy simple melodies.
Now, I never really pay much attention to the lyrics. The fact that they were gay was lost on me till I decided to learn more about The Hidden Cameras. It's just tuneful, immediately accessible, and wonderful. Dance. Drive fast. Bop your head. Bake bread. All while listening to "AWOO".
"Silence from you is like the death of a tune."
Be loud and proud! Hidden Cameras has my allegiance."
