Perth singer-songwriter Cameron Alexander has just dropped his second single “Sugar Bones,” and it’s well worth a listen if you like your music folky with a rock edge. Raw and passionate, this is the kind of song that makes me want to hit the open road in search of adventure.
“It is the first time that I incorporated acoustic guitar fingerpicking as well as a bit of electric into a song,” Cameron explained. “My skills were still really raw when I first wrote this song but I still managed to write it in 30 minutes. It then took another two years to put it together with a band and record it. Now looking back, it has grown so much from me dotting down the first lines in my childhood bedroom, to now having a fleshed-out recorded track with so many layers.”
“’Sugar Bones is a crowd favourite,” he added. “It is one of the songs in our regular set that gets the audience dancing and people have even started to sing the lines back to us, before it has even been released. It gives me goosebumps every time.”
Cameron will launch “Sugar Bones” at Milk Bar in Perth on April 25. Before that, you can catch him supporting Michael Dunstan at Scarborough’s Indian Ocean Hotel on April 17.
