Cameron Avery Brings The Style On ‘Watch Me Take It Away’
Watch Me Take It Away is the latest single from Cameron Avery’s debut solo album ‘Ripe Dreams, Pipe Dreams’, and it’s dripping with vintage style. Not to mention, he is doing a heap of dates to support the launch of the album.
Cameron Avery is a very busy man, playing bass for Tame Impala’s live incarnation, making appearances all over the Perth music scene both on stage and in the studio, yet somehow he manages to produce phenomenal music under his own self-titled project.
While Avery is best known to most people through his work with Tame Impala, the nostalgic synthesizers and funky bass lines of Tame Impala are not what you get with Cameron Avery.
Heading into art rock territory at times and James Bond theme grandeur at other times, Watch Me Take It Away begins by popping it’s collar and waltzing into the whiskey bar asking you, “I’ve got a bona fide leopard hide jacket, babe/I’ll let you wear it all day if you say that you’ll be mine”.
Before too long the noisy fuzzed out slashes of guitar are absent as Avery takes us to another room in the bar, breaking the track down to warbled melodies and jazzy drums like we have walked into the Black Lodge of Twin Peaks on acid.
Mysterious, brooding and soulful, Avery sternly asks for us to stop the games and give him the time, we would…
Strings soon join the ensemble as we begin to reach the finale of Watch Me Take It Away before one last raucous string of fuzzed out guitar notes match the cool drawl of Avery’s final breath on the track.
Cameron Avery will be coming to a club near you very soon as he sets out on the great roads of Australia in support of ‘Ripe Dreams, Pipe Dreams’, and he will be on the road for a while as he is not only doing headlining dates but supporting Sarah Blasko as well! June will see Avery play 10 dates throughout the month as well as a few July dates, so be sure to check him out!
