Premiere: Camera – Roehre

Minimalist rock 'n' roll...

Pop music is all about repetition.

From the glories of the 12 bar blues to Detroit techno, pop is essentially about taking one idea and making it work in about a thousand different ways.

Based in Berlin, experimental three piece Camera have a defiantly minimalist approach to making music. Short musical phrases extended out towards eternity, the band match tight percussive discipline towards elements borrowed from angular post-punk, free jazz and more.

New album 'Remember I Was Carbon Dioxide' is set to arrive shortly, with Camera debuting fresh material on Clash. 'Roehre' opens with tribal percussion, before giving way to a throbbing, fizzing bass line.

The steady pulse remains throughout, before Camera introduce screeching, screaming, ground-breaking sounds.

Check it out now.
