Alex Cameron’s sixth album, ‘Late To Set’, is presented as a darkly comic but emotionally uneasy record that examines masculinity, ageing and self-delusion. The review finds its mixture of satire and sincerity compelling, though the humour can make it difficult to tell whether listeners should laugh at the characters or feel sympathy for them.

The album is described as drawing on theatrical songwriting, lounge-pop and rock, with Cameron adopting exaggerated voices to portray flawed men confronting insecurity, romance and decline. Tracks such as ‘The Moviegoer’ and ‘Cold Blooded’ reportedly balance absurd imagery with genuine melancholy, while the album’s strongest moments reveal vulnerability beneath its deliberately awkward personas.
