And you can't take your eyes off me The camera loves me ooh ooh

The harsh truth of the camera eye Telling you all that you never wanted to know Showing you what you didn't want shown

THE HIDDEN CAMERAS
thehiddencameras.com
The Hidden Cameras are a Canadian band, Fronted by singer-songwriter Joel Gibb.
The band is releasing a new record called Age, coming out on EvilEvil on January 26th, 2014. The album's lead single, "Gay Goth Scene" came out last summer. The single is described as "dark crooning on epic string chords".
Maybe it's because the band has been once described as "gay church folk music" by The Advocate, but they are living up to that image with the cover artwork and single as a 'gay' band. They are proud of their queerness, just like Pansy Division, Team Dresch, Vaginal Davis, The Dicks, etc.
Anyway, the band has a new music video called "Year of the Spawn", directed by New York filmmaker Matt Wolf. You can watch it on YouTube.

I AM A CAMERA
iamacameraofficial.com
I Am a Camera is a duo (Francesca Ross and Ian Watt) from London; possibly naming themselves after the 1951 play or film version.
The band's been busy, in addition to a new mix tape and filming a new music video, the band released their version of Marianne Faithfull and Angelo Badalamenti's "Who Will Take My Dreams Away?" as a free download.
Watt explains the inspiration behind the cover song, "I'd been re-watching Twin Peaks recently and I've always adored the music. It set a tone and character to the show. Angelo Badalamenti bought an atmosphere which engaged you and set the tone. Marianne Faithfull's voice can somehow twist a melody or a lyric to make everything personal to the listener. For me the track is uplifting, it's about friendship, lost love and having the people around you that you care about most."
