Camens – On The Walk From The Picturehouse

Stoke-On-Trent group Camens has released an impressive number of excellent singles since 2017. Tracks like Boys Will Stay, Redolence, Violent Video Games, Danny Devito, Sleeping On The Sofa, Time Is Precious, Handbrake, Leave Me In Pieces, Poltergeist, Illustrator, I Concede To Worrying, and Jacket Weather serve as solid proof these experienced musicians aren’t joking around with their music.

On The Walk From The Picturehouse showcases the natural progression of a band that never ceases to amaze. As soon as you press play, you’ll notice they remained loyal to their initial sound, but there are also many innovations in songwriting, composing, and producing. Camens continuously levitate between contemporary and retro indie rock sound, so On The Walk From The Picturehouse will appeal to even the pickiest fan of the genre. Of course, there are some elements borrowed from alternative and Brit-pop, but these are just enhancements, accentuations, decorations, and other details that uplift this ear-appealing number on an entirely new level. Camens thoroughly planned everything, so each instrument bursts with exceptional musicianship.

You’ll immediately notice a catchy, hypnotic, nearly addictive ambiance achieved by implementing flawlessly performed vocal harmonies, skillfully assembled chord progressions, riffs, themes, leads, warm-sounding basslines, and dynamic rhythmic sequences built upon detailed moderate beats, breaks, fills, accentuations, and other percussive acrobatics that define some of the best indie compositions. Camens continuously switch between calm and energetic segments, but their orchestrations remain complex from scratch to finish. Of course, the band thought about balance and consistency, so On The Walk From The Picturehouse is a pleasant journey through the indie universe you need to experience as soon as possible. The single is available on all streaming platforms. Don’t miss it!
