Aztec Camera - High Land, Hard Rain [Bonus Tracks] [Reissue]

This was a record much loved by the indie kids at high school and i must confess i enjoyed listening to my battered cassette recording of this . Whats particularly impressive is not just that these are songs composed and sung by a teenager at the time but that their is such an impressive melodic sophistication about so many of the songs . If roddy frames delivery is at times a little too sweet , then its coupled with a great honesty or naivete . Whatever it is , it makes the songs pleasant to listen to . Take "oblivious" for example , trilling latin guitars ,cooing backing vocals and an infectious beat - hit single written all over it . Following that would be tricky but he actually betters its sunny disposition several times with great tunes like "pillar to post" "walk out to winter" and "we could send letters" . "back on board" is another favourite with its moping strums and gusts of organ and harmonica. 1 Oblivious 3:12 2 The Boy Wonders 3:15 3 Walk Out to Winter 3:25 4 The Bugle Sounds Again 2:58 5 We Could Send Letters 5:49 6 Pillar to Post 4:02 7 Release 3:41 8 Lost Outside the Tunnel 3:42 9 Back on Board 4:53 10 Down the Dip 2:23 11 Haywire 3:58 12 Orchid Girl 2:35 13 Queen's Tattoos 2:09
