Australian musician Alex Cameron’s new album Oxy Music began in the spring of 2020. With New York City locked down, Alex Cameron began a time of self-reflection, resulting in more self-awareness emerging on his most recent record. He’s reflected on his failures and on his good luck.
One could go wrong–and quite wrong–reading Cameron superficially. Beneath the pleasant levity of the music, behind the flawless work of his band–a band that can hang with any other band, living or dead–Cameron is deceptively complicated. There are multitudes of irony within him. And then at times he is in earnest. Other times he is ironic in earnest. Cameron is a paradox of paradoxes. Stylish paradoxes. Sincere paradoxes. Defiant paradoxes. It seems the only thing that he is not is the type of lyricist that hasn’t put the work in. He is a first-rate lyricist. A poet. Which is all to say, he will be misunderstood.
Oxy Music is a record that challenges. Not in the sense that it’s aspiring to be clever, nor in the sense that it aspires to be something comparably full-of-shit to clever. It is a thinking person’s record, however, in as much as it’s long on questions and short on answers (hence: plenty to think about).
Maybe there is hope in this, that despite the difficulties presented by the worst years of more or less everybody’s life, a record was made. And beyond that, it is a record that shines. And not to diminish what has been said here about Cameron’s worth as a singer and lyricist, in the interest of giving credit where credit is due, it’s Cameron’s good luck that he has behind him what is essentially a perfect set of musicians, who are up to the task of backing him up. And so you have Oxy Music.
