Camera: The Fireflies EP
With the opening crashing bars of this EP, Camera are setting the record straight, clearing the decks and rewriting their agenda.
Camera's debut LP 'Ashes And Dim Light' was a beautiful record that has been a firm favourite on theAbsurd’s stereo since its release in 2006; but if you've ever witnessed the band live you knew these guys were capable of something else.
The Fireflies EP delivers just that. The raw power and passion of the live performances is captured right here… this is Camera with everything turned up to 11.
It strides along with the confidence of a band that have been performing together since schooldays, and with guitarist Steve taking full control of “analogue ambience” and “digital distortion”, and with the recent introduction of keyboardist Tim, this makes for an altogether richer, fuller, warmer sound.
The intimacy and delicateness of their earlier work is still here, but it plays off in contrast to Camera’s darker side, highlighted perfectly in the abslolutely stunning “Wait For Me”.
Die hard Camera fans will love this, and new listeners will be delighted at eventually discovering one of North Wales’ finest. The Fireflies EP is a true gem and an essential part of anyone’s collection.

A special record. Not tiring of it. Finally, a North Wales band with real substance. Can't wait to hear them live.
