Say Psych: Album Review, Phantom of Liberty by Camera
Camera are a band who I have always had high regard for, something that seems to grow with each of their releases. If the band’s previous album ‘Remember I Was Carbon Dioxide‘ marked a move towards a more electronic sound, then ‘Phantom of Liberty’ further completes the move.

Down the decades certain albums have had so much praise heaped upon them by fans and critics alike, that it becomes almost impossible to be objective about them.
