In what might be the best self-deprecating way to describe one's own music that we've heard, Joel Gibbs, frontman and mastermind behind Canada's The Hidden Cameras, refers to his own band's outpu... Continue reading "Giveaway: A Pair Of Tickets To Tonight's Hailey's Show With The Hidden Cameras" >
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive , Canada Five albums into a career that's taken many sonic twists and turns along the way, the Hidden Cameras ' musical mastermind Joel Gibb keeps pushing the boundaries of his artistic vision, drawing on the vast and varied talents of the small army of contributors who drift in and out of the indie collective at any given time.

Albums are often proclaimed as a trip, but so often just spin their wheels. The Hidden Cameras succeed in taking you on a journey. Go with them. "Forget what you know / Leave your home" intones Joel Gibb on opening number, "Ratify the New", and indeed it feels just like that. The Hidden Cameras know all about dynamics - whether over the course of a song or a full album, their ability to ebb and flow, to build and drop, is masterful.

With fearless leader and creative visionary Joel Gibb at the helm, Toronto's sprawling art-pop collective The Hidden Cameras continue to expand and challenge the standards of what contemporary music can be. With four albums since 2001, Gibb and his ever-changing band of players have turned concert settings - clubs, churches, porn theaters - into stages for unpredictable "events" featuring blindfolded musicians, zombie choirs, dance ensembles and general onstage mayhem.
