Our Take

Aztec Camera's "Backwards And Forwards" compilation album takes listeners on a nostalgic journey through the band's Wea Recordings from 1984 to 1995.

Frontman Roddy Frame's distinctive vocals and catchy pop melodies shine through on this collection, showcasing the band's evolution over the years.

The album kicks off with the infectious "Oblivious," a track that perfectly encapsulates the band's signature jangly guitar sound and earnest lyricism.

Tracks like "Release" and "Good Morning Britain" show off Frame's songwriting prowess, with introspective lyrics and shimmering guitar work that will have you hitting repeat.

But it's not all sunshine and roses on this compilation. Aztec Camera delves into darker territory with the brooding "The Crying Scene" and the haunting "Spanish Horses," adding depth and complexity to their sound.

Overall, "Backwards And Forwards" is a must-listen for any Aztec Camera fan or newcomer looking to dive into the band's discography. With its infectious hooks and heartfelt lyrics, this compilation is a testament to the band's enduring appeal and influence in the indie music scene. So grab your Clamshell edition and prepare for a musical journey through the best of Aztec Camera.
