	Camera chimera Too obscene to be unseen Lights dance in the mirror but they don’t dance for me Blessed are those in life without a jealous bone to fight Will I forever live in fear of this camera chimera? Or will I die on this floor forever scarred and scared? I’m too impaired to even care An imagined crime so cruel and clever plays over and over again in my head It never ends… Camera chimera Too obscene to be unseen I see it in the mirror I see it in my sleep C’est tout le temps… Blessed are those in life without a jealous bone to fight Will I always live in fear of this camera chimera? I’m going to die on this floor Forever scarred and scared I’m too impaired to even care An imagined crime So cruel and clever Plays over and over again and again in my head and I’m afraid that it won’t end

about

On the driving new LIES’ single, “Camera Chimera,” the band (composed of American Football’s Mike & Nate Kinsella) continues to experiment with new sonic textures. Harsh, distorted guitar work is paired with lush, atmospheric synths - it's classic, early 90's shoegaze with a unique spin that can only come from the Kinsellas.

“'Camera Chimera' is about the scary - and often crippling - side effects of interacting / existing on social media," says Mike Kinsella. "It’s about not only feeling manipulated by others, but also being confronted with the reality and consequences of your own lies and manipulation, and how that can mentally and emotionally cause one to spiral.”

This album rips. I’ve passed on Japandroids for several years since discovering Polyvinyl Records, and I have to admit I regret that decision immensely. This album is fast, furious, and a LOT of fun. Kirk Gauthier

Absolutely brilliant, dreamy indie folk-rock. Most of the songs are somewhere between two and three minutes but feel as though they last a lifetime (in a good way). Beautifully heart-wrenching from beginning to end. Kirk Gauthier
