The Hidden Cameras: A Miracle

by Chris Hilliard

Those leading lights in that not-really-at-all burgeoning arena of Canadian gay church folk music cast aside their gay-go-go (try saying that in a hurry) masks for a lovely swooning strum.

‘A Miracle’ is three minutes of string-laden melancholia for people with a Morrissey penchant.

Thankfully it's not the one about being caught short and taking a whiz on your better half’s face… or something. It is of course a rare example of a relatively unplumbed subject matter, but I think it's fairly likely most gay people, like straight people, are pretty averse to such dirty protests. The Hidden Cameras are far better than such pigeonholing. Best stick to Marvin Gaye though for those candlelit evenings.

This review isn't terribly exciting.

Re: The Hidden Cameras - A Miracle

But have you read my live review of them? I'm rather aggrieved no one has commented on it yet...!

The Hidden Cameras - A Miracle

OK... but WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT SOUND LIKE?

Re: The Hidden Cameras - A Miracle

It sounds like three minutes of string-laden melancholia for people with a Morrissey penchant.

Re: The Hidden Cameras - A Miracle

It also draws on imagery from The Anunciation...
