AZTEC CAMERA Vinyl Records and CDs A catchy and -- at least at first -- folk-inflected New Wave act with spry, observant lyrics full of humorous twists and emotional depth. Aztec Camera's Roddy Frame is still a talented songwriter and a singer with a delicate, softly falling voice.

Roddy Frame (born 29 January ) is a Scottish singer-songwriter and musician. He was the founder of the s new wave band Aztec Camera, and has undertaken a solo career since the dissolution of the ballarnfeziussaikelv.xyzinfo November , journalist Brian Donaldson described Frame as: "Aztec Camera wunderkind-turned-elder statesman of intelligent, melodic, wistful Scotpop.".

While Knife marks a definite change in the sound of Aztec Camera, the production is entirely appropriate for the material written by Roddy Frame. This is a record packed with top pop thrills, from first track Still on Fire right through to The Birth of the True, a live favourite of Frame's to this day/5(11).

Aztec Camera are the perfect soundtrack to a cloudy Saturday afternoon with Roddy Frame's melodic vocals providing an album full of memorable hooks and jangly production. This album's sound embodies the 80s perfectly without seeming aged at all, sounding like everything from Spandau Ballet (Back On Board - at least a little bit) to The Cure.

Aztec Camera Knife The Birth Of The True I feel the magic that our time has traced And make a point of it in every place. But every place deserves a curse or two, For making me so far away from you.

Roundly trashed upon its fall release -- many reviewers took the album almost as a personal insult -- Knife is nowhere near as terrible an album as it seemed at the time. One must remember the circumstances, however: 's High Land Hard Rain, as well as the preceding singles on the legendary Postcard and Les Disques du Crepuscule labels, had presented Roddy Frame and crew as the jazz.
