With this particular Almost Halloween Time Records
cassette, I actually am probably going to try and put the artwork for it in a
frame and up on my wall. I really feel
like this one especially needs to be there.
When I was bigger into folk punk, I had heard of I Kill Cameron, I just
haven’t really heard this music in a while as I’ve not been searching the “folk
punk” tag on Bandcamp as much as I perhaps used to.
The thing about I Kill Cameron is that as innocent as
this music sounds and might seem at times, it also has an edge to it that can
be filled with such anger. It reminds
me of that one psycho ex-girlfriend we have all probably had who will be ready
to stab you with a kitchen knife one moment and then laughing their ass off the
next.
For wrestling fans, this is the folk punk version of
AJ Lee.
One song does actually end with laughter and it does
sound somewhat maniacal to me. In
another song, she stops singing and says she messed up and wants to start
over. It isn’t so much a reflection of
the raw nature of the recording so much as the… umm… unstable qualities of the
artist.
Let me say this about the music of I Kill Cameron and
it will reflect my feelings of the artist on the whole. This is really good and I enjoy it
immensely. I wish this young woman was
my friend. But at the same time, she
just does NOT seem like someone you ever want to be on the bad side of and I
rarely say that of people.
