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.
