Hidden Cameras: New LP & Tour

Canadian Folkers Hidden Camera Trek Across North America

Behind Their Fourth LP Origin:Orphan


Hidden Cameras

The experimental folk outfit Hidden Cameras have just announced a massive North American tour in support of their fourth full-length, Origin:Orphan. Fans can purchase tickets at galleryac.com. As a bonus, in anticipation of the new album and tour, fans who purchase tickets will immediately receive a free digital download of the newly released five-track In The NA.

Origin:Orphan was recorded in Berlin, Germany and Toronto, and delves into new musical territory. The dark synths of the title track and dominant orchestration of “Walk On” counterbalance the upbeat playfulness of “In The NA” and “Underage.” The Hidden Cameras, who have always been known for their celebratory live performances, often take to churches and art galleries, with forty-piece dance troupes. The Band even performed in Munich, Germany during the halftime of a Bayern-Munich soccer game in front of a crowd of over 100,000.
