🎶 Introducing "Instamatic Camera" - Song 3 of our twelve-month release marathon! 🎶 Get ready to dive into another gem from our repertoire! This track may be an oldie, but it has only graced the stage a handful of times.

Drawing inspiration from the grandiose multi-part compositions of legendary artists like Paul McCartney & Wings' "Band on the Run" and Radiohead's "Paranoid Android," we've crafted a 3-minute sonic journey for you to enjoy.

"Instamatic Camera" delves into the complexities of relationships and the struggles of navigating through deception and compromise. The introspective lyrics express a sense of detachment and denial, with the narrator refusing to take blame for the emotional turmoil caused by lies and manipulation.

Despite facing challenges head-on and refusing to compromise their values, the narrator acknowledges the difficult reality of holding back the waves of uncertainty. The chorus's repetition of "The instamatic camera never lies" emphasizes the notion that the truth is captured through candid moments, not in the facade of deception. It's a plea for authenticity and transparency in relationships, refusing to accept a narrative that doesn't align with reality.

The bridge introduces a glimmer of hope and determination, implying that through resilience and mutual effort, there's a chance to survive and overcome the hurdles. The repetition of "You'll never write another play" and "Together, we will find a way" reflects the desire to break free from manipulative scripts and create an authentic connection.

During the production process, something magical happened - we were playing around with some orchestral sampling tools, and it emerged into a stroke of brilliance, elevating the entire composition and enhancing its emotional impact, we hope you agree.

The artwork for this release is truly special. Captured in 2021, one of us was fortunate enough to witness a breathtaking sunset while staying in the spare bedroom of a dear friend. The resulting photograph that graces the cover, perfectly encapsulates the serendipity and beauty that permeates "Instamatic Camera".

Overall, "Instamatic Camera" is an emotionally charged song that confronts the complexities of relationships and the search for honesty amidst deception. PlasticSole's heartfelt delivery and thought-provoking lyrics create a captivating and relatable experience for listeners, making it a standout addition to their "12 Songs in 12 Months" project. Don't miss this captivating track available on all good streaming platforms! 🎶
