Cameron McCrary is among the countless hopefuls, recording lo-fi psych pop songs on a shoestring budget. That is a niche filled with musicians with half-baked ideas, using lack of "proper" recording equipment as an excuse to bore (or annoy) listeners with self-indulgent tunes about their uneventful life. Thankfully, the Dallas based singer-songwriter is not one of them. He is blessed with a knack for nifty melodies plus a sense of humor.
A couple of albums in with his Tigerblind project, he knows which side his bread is buttered. His new collection is called It's All Gonna Happen To You, a grab bag of well-executed pop acoustic guitar driven tracks, seasoned with a muffled, yet effective backbeat. When life throws him a curve ball, he catches it, busts a couple of moves to wow the onlookers, and plugs in to turn it into a song. Imagine Syd Barrett having a nice of cup of tea with Elliot Smith and Nick Frater, discussing New Wave and garage rock.
It's All Gonna Happen To You is a self-released album. Buy it from his website.
