New Arrivals/Restock

Alex Cameron has always been a great storyteller, finding his ways

into the depths of the places where not many others are looking,

and Oxy Music continues on that trajectory. It's filled with stories of

people who fall outside the system and exist in the grey areas of life.

And much like 2017's Forced Witness, Oxy Music is a work of fiction.

In it's design - it's music, lyrics and tracklist - lies the journey a person

can take, if the circumstances present themselves - down the road

of heavy drug and alcohol abuse. Initially inspired by Nico Walker's

Cherry, Cameron was spurred into yet another commentary on

American Life, this time about the opioid crisis that has taken over

the country. Alex says about Oxy Music: "The album is a story, a

work of fiction, mostly from the perspective of a man. Starved of

meaningful purpose, confused about the state of the world, and in

dire need of a reason to live - a person can, and according to the

latest statistics, increasingly will, turn to opioids. This is one of those

people."

While Oxy Music could be dark, it's instead brighter and more

buoyant than much of Cameron's previous work, a shift in mood first

seen across 2019's Miami Memory. It's told from a place of optimism

and through the lens of Cameron, in the way that only he can tell it.
