High Land, Hard Rain

by Aztec Camera

High Land, Hard Rain cover art

Penned almost entirely by teenage prodigy Roddy Frame, Aztec Camera's debut is a masterclass in highly literate, acoustic-driven indie pop. The album perfectly blends the energetic, strummed aesthetics of early jangle pop with incredibly poetic, bittersweet lyricism and a distinct bossa nova influence. 'High Land, Hard Rain' remains a remarkably melodic, warmly romantic, and highly sophisticated classic of the Postcard Records era.
