The Beat Surrender

Last years Songs of Praise album was criminally ignored and underrated, boasting heartbreakingly tragic lyrics laced with Northern wit The Golden Virgins delivered with each and every track and we the record buying public let them down.

Still like a dazed but ultimately proud boxer you can knock them down but they’ll be back and here they are with a third and final single from the album. I Am A Camera, is as odd and strange as you would expect of that title, taking influence from a mixture of Talking Heads and Wire it’s a hugely catchy track without at any point being obvious.

The slightly creepy lyrics may put some people off but for me they just add to the appeal. A great band and another top single, out now.
