May 7, 2019 Alex Cameron – Miami Memory
Australia’s Alex Cameron shares a pulsing, carnally romantic new song “Miami Memory“, an appropriate ode to his relationship with our beloved, strange city and his lady, out today on Secretly Canadian. Of the track, Alex Cameron says:
“Miami Memory is a story about how we audition in the present for our future selves to enjoy in retrospect. In that way, tender memories that we share together are captured in thought and stored with the same electricity that keeps our heart beating. It’s a gift for my girlfriend Jemima, and it is dedicated to the artist Greer Lankton and her partner Paul Monroe. I am lucky to have learned that a group of people can be a shining light.”
Watch the surreal self-directed video, shot in Miami Beach, starring, Jemima Kirke, and Roy Molloy, and Alex Cameron himself, with a special shout out to local film heroes Borscht Corp., below:
