Alex Cameron

**Alex Cameron** I. In New York City on his thirteenth birthday, planes fell from the sky and crashed into the World Trade Center. This had nothing to do with Alex Cameron. He wasn’t there. He was in Australia. By the time the planes hit, it wasn’t even 9/11 anymore. It was 9/12. This has been the secret rhythm of his art. One day ahead of a most terrible, but inevitable truth. II. Alex Cameron’s new album is called “Late to Set.” “Late to Set” was born of 9 forgotten long form screenplays written between the year 2022 and 2025. Rejected by the studios, lost to the LA wildfires, the charred remains fragmented and saved in songs of deep confusion and regret. III. “Late to Set” is Al’s fifth album. Production credits include Mark Perkins, Zach Dawes and Maxim Ludwig among others. IV. Al once told me that a lie is never funny, but the truth is always funny. V. The album was completed on an avocado ranch in California after LA started burning in January 2025. VI. This is the world our fathers feared. “What a joy!” says Al. VII. The dissection of art is murder. Vivisection is the dissection of something while it’s still alive. You do that to something you don’t believe has a soul.
