Louie Cameron joins in with a lively new single, "Canina Canoona," an ode to the carefree tours of summer, relinquishing his artwork's more serious undertows for an extended pep. There is something masterfully familiar and new about this song, a mix of Americana sounds and late-60s pop melodies, and it's the second single from his upcoming EP "Do You Wanna Go Out?"
The title "Canina Canoona" is a callback to a line of names Cameron made up, inspired by his girlfriend, and adds a personal, fun touch to the release, giving fans a sense of what makes him laugh and how inspiration strikes. Mastered by Brett Shaw on tape, produced by Pat Dam Smyth and Callum Merrett on drums, it has journeyed from rough lo-fi phone sketches to a full scene through cinematic recording.
Straddling the thoughtful sentiments of '60s pop and the contemporary inclinations of new psych-pop, the song is an absolute bruiser. It demonstrates that Cameron is an artist who knows how to balance playful experimentation with finished craftsmanship. In a crowded music scene, "Canina Canoona" will stand out with its catchy melodies and charmingly quirky spirit. It will also help Louie Cameron's reputation as a promising voice in the genre-bending pop scene.
