about

Honed from years of song-smithing at the coal face, Lane has produced what he calls his first true single… a convivial highway alt country rock cruiser with a strong undercurrent of Americana, no doubt fuelled by their recent successful showcases in Canada.
Camber celebrates relationships of substance with some kilometres under the belt, and how small adjustments can make the ride smoother.
The song was good enough to attract the attention of Melbourne soul diva, Nkechi Anele whose voice glides effortlessly behind Lanes in a most ‘un-Saskwatch’ way.
There’s old and new on this track.
David Williams (Augie March) jumps back behind the drum kit to give the track its bedrock.
Latest Autocrat (and current Australian flat picking champion) Jacob McGuffie (The Fearless Vampire Killers/Davidson Brothers) provides the shimmer and shine with his sweet and purposeful slide guitar, always leaving room for bassist (and Steve’s son) Kai Lane U’Ren, whose melodic playing surfaces beautifully in the middle eight.

lyrics

CAMBER

this old love
has seen many days
from a simpler time
with less complicated ways
but we’ve learnt how to drive it
and I’d never trade that
there’s a whole lotta k’s
left in us yet

we’ve got the camber
just right
we’ve got the camber
just right

this old love
not faded or forgotten
has required maintenance
as it’s got older
and it’s true we are crazier
than when we first met
but in that instability
we’ve found great depth

we’ve got the camber
just right
we’ve got the camber
just right
when we’ve got the camber
just right
we’ve got the camber
just right
