Taking on the persona of a failed, insecure entertainer, Australian lounge lizard Alex Cameron adds a sheen of insincerity to his 1980s-inspired songs, like “Candy May,” that makes them all the more fun to listen to. I see his music as forming a perfect complement to that of Lana Del Rey’s—there’s a certain lust for time in American history and culture that’s communicated through a layer of sleaze. But his most recent record, Miami Memory, finds Cameron taking a stab at sincerity. One line: “Eating your ass like an oyster / The way you came like a tsunami.” I’d take that sincerity with a grain of salt. by Jas Keimig
