Camera - Prosthuman
Released 26th February.
With the band’s tenth anniversary in their viewfinder, CAMERA are all set to push
the button on “Prosthuman”, their fifth studio album in February 2021. As befits
an age in which realities can change in the blink of an eye, from one day to the
next, the Berlin band nevertire of changing themselves, their music or personnel.
As Karlheinz Stockhausen noted: “New methods change the experience. New
experiences change man.” Taking this as their lead, Michael Drummer (the
drummer) and CAMERA surprise us once more on“Prosthuman” as they reinvent
and reformulate their sound without sacrificing the project’s identity which has
matured over the past decade. Less surprising is the fact that some record stores
give CAMERA their own section, alongside Krautrock pioneers like NEU!, Can and
La Düsseldorf. “Emotional Detox”, the predecessor to this album, was distinguished
by the presence of two keyboard virtuosos (Steffen Kahles and CAMERA founder
member Timm Brockmann). Finding replacements for “Prosthuman” was, as Michael
Drummer stresses, “a difficult process.” The two keyboardists had – indifferent
creative periods – formed the backbone of a band structure otherwise prone to
fluctuations. Decisive input came from an unlikely source: Tim Schroeder, who first
teamed up with CAMERA as aperformance and video artist on their six-week tour
of the USA in 2017. Over the course of various jams and recording sessions, he was
able to offer ample proof of his synthesizers skills. Alex Kozmidi, a musician and
composer with a flair for experimentation, completed the triumvirate on guitar,
with Michael Drummer adding his own guitar riffs here and there. Change and
friction can be useful allies in pursuit of creativity, something to which Drummer
has grown accustomed as the only ever-present member of CAMERA. The pleasures
and pain of isolation – suddenly a mass phenomenon in pandemic times – are well
known to the quasi frontman of the group. Over the years, he has spent many hours
alone or with a shifting cast of co-musicians in the band’s basement studio, beneath
a former factory site in a less than hip southern district of Berlin. Virus-induced
social distancing and quarantine measures that came into force during the recording
process (June 2019 to June 2020) thus posed no great challenge.

Expected Release 25th September 2026 Some artists don’t ask permission; they just land in your gut and stay there. Some records arrive polished and pristine. Others bleed the moment you press play. On their debut album ‘Put A Smile On For Me’, the fast-rising London four-piece Keo choose the latter. Raw, bruised, and unflinchingly self-aware, their first full-length release captures the emotional fallout of love, guilt, shame, and self-destruction with a clarity that feels almost confrontatio...

Expected Release 21st August 2026 ‘Baby You’re A Winner’ is a perfect illustration of the elevated musicality of the album that bears its name. Linking up across the record’s twelve tracks with producer Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Perfume Genius, Yard Act), Baby You’re A Winner showcases a real levelling up for Grandmas House: more layered and involved than their trio of previous EPs - Grandmas House (2021), Who Am I (2023), Anything For You (2025) - with a greater focus on the use of vocals and ha...

Expected Release 11th September 2026 Stoke-On-Trent’s most tuned-in and turned-out trio are releasing debut album Punch Card, which might be the avant-garde pop record of the year. Driven by a desire for sonic collage and bolstered by lateral thinking, ‘Punch Card’ is a crafty lesson in how, with touches of masterful manipulation, the collision of opposing forces can cause sparks to fly and an irrepressible need to dance. “Our aim is to undermine anything leaning too far one way or the other....

Expected Release 14th August 2026 ‘Massive Champion’ is the highly anticipated new album from Bristol’s Getdown Services, the follow up to cult classic debut ‘Crisps’. An odyssey of anarchic joy, seditious wit and boundless energy, the album finds Josh Law and Ben Sadler pushing deeper into the singular world they have been building for years, while opening up new emotional and lyrical ground. Written in green rooms, on long car journeys and in the gaps between relentless touring, it stands a...
