The Hidden Cameras - Origin:Orphan

Full review to follow. My notes for this show can now be found here.

I think it will take me some intense work to try and decode even some of what was going down in the band's "dramatic reinterpretation" of their latest album. The loose narrative told — I think — the story of a group of orphans who were physically liberated through the emotional liberation of their cruel overseer. The latter was portrayed by Keith Cole with his customary verve.

The musical side of things was unfailingly strong, and though there were some fully excellent moments, for now let's just mull over this disco-fied reinterpretation of the album's title track.
