No one in history has ruminated over the anguish of a broken heart with
quite the same euphoric flair as Roddy Frame. For over a decade the Scottish
songwriter has lead Aztec Camera through a procession of stellar pop confections
that delve headfirst into the world of unrequited love with a wide-smile
and feelgood vibes. Everything from the extraordinary acoustic tattering
of "Oblivious" on up to the high-gloss guitar attack of "Somewhere
In My Heart" through to 1993's flamenco-flavored "Spanish Horses, " shares
not only a disparaging undercurrent of sadness, but a fantastically vivid
joie de vivre, making for an interesting schizophrenic effect in most of
the group's work. Judging by his latest endeavor, Frestonia, Frame has yet
to find even a trace of solace in his campaign. The new album is a meticulously
crafted work of
wonder that soars with tender grooves, excellent delicate jangly guitar and
piano romps and that heartmelting voice, barely changing the pace of Aztec
Camera's
musical
bent, but exhibiting a tangible sense of reconciliation. The songs veer from
the innocuous ivory-accented "On The Avenue" to the heartbreaking
balladry of "Sunset" to the monumentally stylish "Beautiful
Girl." Frame has probably already exhausted a few of the melodies here
before, but with such brash emotional gymnastics this album is hard to
resist.
