Roddy Frame(born 29 January 1964[1]) is a Scottish singer-songwriter and musician. He was the founder of the 1980snew wavebandAztec Cameraand has undertaken a solo career since the group's dissolution. In November 2013, journalist Brian Donaldson described Frame as: "Aztec Camera wunderkind-turned-elder statesman of intelligent, melodic, wistful Scotpop."[2]

Since the end of the Aztec Camera project, Frame has released four solo albums, the last of which is 2014'sSeven Dials.

Early life

[edit]

Frame grew up inEast Kilbride,South Lanarkshire, Scotland and went to Canberra Primary School andDuncanrig Secondary School.Frame was surrounded by music from a very young age, as his older sisters were music fans and listened to a great number of artists, such asThe BeatlesandThe Rolling Stones.[3]

He started to learn guitar playing at a very early age.[4]During his early years playing guitar, Frame frequently listened toWilko Johnsonand was able to play many of Johnson's songs as a result.[5]

As a child and adolescent, Frame was inspired by a variety of musical influences, includingDavid Bowie,the Velvet Underground,the ByrdsandLove.[6]Following the advent of thepunk subculture,Frame states that he was drawn to it, as "it said, 'Anyone can do it. You can form a band.'... It was liberating."[4]He citedJohn McGeoch's guitar playing withMagazineandSiouxsie and the Bansheesas one of his main influences.[7]

Frame was attracted to the fashion sense of punk bands like theNew York DollsandThe Sex Pistols,but was subsequently inspired by the look ofThe Fall'sMark E. Smith.[8]

Frame isolated Bowie as a seminal influence, revealing that he would play the song "Space Oddity"to his mother repeatedly.[8]

Music career

[edit]

Aztec Camera

[edit]

Frame's first band was called Neutral Blue.[9]Then, at the age of 16, Frame joined thePostcard Recordsroster—alongside Orange Juice and Josef K—and his next band,Aztec Camera,began torecorda series of low-budgetsingles,such as "Just Like Gold" and "Mattress of Wire".[10][11]The music of Aztec Camera drew attention from bothJohn Peel,a presenter onBBC Radio 1,and theNew Musical Express (NME).[2]

In 1983 Aztec Camera releasedHigh Land, Hard Rain,[12]their first album onRough Trade Records;although, the album did not include the first two Postcard singles. The album's opening song "Oblivious" was ahit singleand Aztec Camera were consequently recognised as one of the key acts on the Rough Trade label. On tracks such as "Walk Out to Winter" and "Back on Board", Frame sang poeticlyricsabout love, both lost and found, themes that he would revisit on subsequent Aztec Camera albums.[12]The album also garnered attention for the band in the United States (US) and American magazineCreempublished a review following its initial release that proclaimed: "" The world ain't perfect. But High Land, Hard Rain comes close. "[13]

AfterHigh Land, Hard Rain,Frame spent a significant amount of time living inNew Orleans,US, listening toBob Dylan's albumInfidels.Upon reading thatDire Straits' guitarist and singerMark Knopflerproduced the album, Frame began writing songs based on a sound that he thought Knopfler could work with. Frame then signed the band to theWEArecord label and managed to hire Knopfler to produce Aztec Camera's second album,Knife,which was released in 1984.[4][14]The duration of thetitularsong is nearly nine minutes, while "All I Need is Everything" received radio airplay.[15]

Around this time, Frame became somewhat of a recluse, living in a remote wooden shack in Hollywood,Marple Bridge,in the hills aboveManchester,[16]"going through periods of good and bad mental health,"[17]while continuing to write music for Aztec Camera's next album, including the lyric "From Westwood to Hollywood" in the song"Somewhere in My Heart".

Aztec Camera's third album, 1987'sLove,was recorded in the US with soul,R&Band pop producers such asMichael Jonzun,Tommy LiPumaandRob Mounsey.[18]By this stage of the band's history, Frame represented its single driving force[13]and he explained in 2014: "... I was young and I wanted to do things like go to America and make a sort of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis record".[4]The album was engineered by Eric Calvi, who had previously worked withAfrika BambaataaandAl Jarreau,and featured the backing vocals of soul and R&B singers such asDan HartmanandTawatha Agee.[18]One of the radio singles fromLove,"Somewhere in My Heart",was Aztec Camera's first" top 10 "chart hit[19]and Frame later explained that his inspiration at the time of writing the song wasBruce Springsteen.[4]

The diversity of Frame's musical influences was further exhibited in 1990'sStray,for which he performed a duet with musical hero,Mick JonesofThe Clash,on the song "Good Morning Britain". The single release of the song featured a live performance at the Glasgow Barrowland venue, where Jones also performed, and a cover photograph byBleddyn Butcher.[20]

Frame then recorded the next Aztec Camera album,Dreamland,with Japanese composerRyuichi Sakamoto.Released in 1993, the album was mixed byJulian Mendelsohn,who had previously worked with the band.[21]For Frame's final album under the Aztec Camera moniker, and the last original studio recording for the WEA label, Frame worked with renowned production teamLanger-Winstanley,who had previously worked withMadnessandElvis Costello.[22]Frestoniawas released in 1995 and the Reprise Records label issued it in the US.[23]

All six Aztec Camera studio albums were reissued in August 2012 by the Edsel Records label, which had previously completed the same process for the studio albums ofEverything But The Girl.The reissued editions included bonus tracks and live recordings.[24]The following year, theDomino Recording CompanyreissuedHigh Land, Hard Rainto commemorate the album's 30th anniversary, including a vinyl pressing of the album that was released in the second half of 2013.[4][13]A white cotton T-shirt with the album'scover artwas produced by and sold on Frame's website.[25]Frame performed a series of live shows in the UK, at whichHigh Land, Hard Rainwas played in its entirety with the support of a backing band. According to a media report on 28 August 2013, none of the original band members was involved with the shows and the anniversary event was not an Aztec Camera reunion.[13]

Solo career

[edit]

FollowingFrestonia,Frame pursued a solo career under his own name from 1995 onwards.[13]His first solo album,The North Star,was released in 1998 on theIndependientelabel and featured the single "Reason For Living".[12]Frame appeared on Jools Holland'sLatertelevision show in 1998 to play "Bigger, Brighter, Better", fromNorth Star.[26]In 1999 Frame appeared alongsideNeil FinnandGraham Gouldmanas part of the BBC Four's "Songwriters' Circle" series, and played both Aztec Camera and solo songs.[27]

Frame's second solo albumSurf,recorded when he was 38 years old, is a collection ofacousticsongs that attracted critical acclaim and was generally regarded as a return to songwriting form.[28]In a 2002Guardianinterview, Frame explained that he had "written an album about day-to-day life in London; about being 38 and wondering what you're going to do next."[8]The album's cover image is a photograph taken from atop Burwash House in London, UK by Hannah Grace Deller, Frame's girlfriend at the time, and depicts the city's skyline.[29]Following the album's April 2014 reissue, arts journalist Philip Cummins concluded:

Not since Paul Simon’s Hearts and Bones nor Bruce Springsteen’s Tunnel of Love has there been an album by a singer-songwriter that has explored themes of love, heartbreak and identity as skilfully and masterfully as Roddy Frame has on Surf. It is hard to think of an LP from the last 10 – 15 years that is so masterfully crafted, so fully realised, so enviably achieved... Surf is, quite simply, one of the most moving, spellbinding and memorable collection of songs I have heard in recent years.[29]

The song "Small World" was used as thetheme musicfor theBBC Televisioncomedy seriesEarly Doors.[30]Frame explained at a 2012 live performance in the UK that "Crossing Newbury Street" is about the time that he spent with Jonzun inBoston,Massachusetts, US, while writing and recording "Somewhere in My Heart".[31]

Frame performed his first ever show at theGlastonbury Festivalin 2003 and his next solo albumWestern Skieswas released three years later in May 2006. Later in 2006, he released a live album calledLive at Ronnie Scott's,a recording of a performance that was completed on 29 May 2005, and this was followed in 2007 byLive at The Blue Note, Osaka,another live recording of a show of 21 September 2006 in Japan.[32][33]Video footage of Frame performing live solo concerts in the UK in both 2005 (Cardiff) and 2008 (Birmingham) was published on the YouTube online video-sharing platform.[34][35]

In preparation for Frame's next studio album, he signed to AED Records, a record label founded by musicianEdwyn Collins—a close friend and collaborator of Frame—and James Endeacott.[36][37]In a 2011 live performance at London's Bush Hall venue, Frame played the song "White Pony", which would later appear on his fourth solo album, and explained that it was inspired by the death of filmmakerJohn Hughesand the "coming-of-age" notion.[38]

Frame proceeded to record his next album at Collins's West Heath Yard studio with producer Sebastian Lewsley[39](Frame stated in a 2013 radio interview that Collins had been "incredibly generous".[5]) and, in June 2013, AED Records announced an "early 2014" release date for Frame's fourth solo album. The label's name is aninitialismof "Analogue Enhanced Digital" and the album was referred to as a "lovely thing".[40](The label name "AED" is a personal joke of Collins's.) Frame explained prior to the release of his AED album that he was "spurred" on to record another full-length solo release by a series of live performances with Collins that was followed by a tour with a couple of members of Collins's band. Frame thought the touring band sounded so good that he decided to create a "band record again" and proceeded to write songs specifically with the touring band in mind.[37]

Prior to the release of Frame's fourth solo album, two songs from the album, "Forty Days of Rain"[41]and "Postcard", appeared on Frame's website in mid-April for listeners to stream.[42]Additionally, AED reissued a vinyl version of theSurfalbum forRecord Store Dayon 19 April 2014.[29]

On 4 May 2014, Frame's fourth solo studio album, entitledSeven Dials,was released on iTunes—on 8 May 2014, three customer reviews were posted on the iTunes Preview page and all gave five-star reviews.[43]In its review of the album, released eight years afterWestern Skies,theScotsmannewspaper stated that the "goodwill and energy" generated by the 30th anniversaryHigh Land, Hard Raintour "informed the completion of this new album", and describes a work filled with "impressionistic snapshots" and "the theme of pulling away... and moving on elsewhere."[36]TheScotsmanreviews concludes:

The entire album is suffused with a non-angsty restlessness. “Bury me at Seven Dials so my soul can never find its way back to where I kissed you” Frame sings on the bittersweet Into The Sun. That sense of valediction is strongest on the poignant English Garden, which could give Damon Albarn a run for his melancholy money and then Elvis Costello with its final, emotional hit. Frame may be a man of few words but he makes them all count.[36]

On the release date ofSeven Dials,Frame appeared on Spanish radio station RTVE and also performed a live show, for which he also played Aztec Camera songs. During the live performance, Frame opened with "Oblivious" and explained to the audience that the pressure in the UK was too intense, as the term "Roddy Frame Day" was being used.[44]In another interview for Spanish radio, Frame explained that during his time with Aztec Camera, he was never overly serious about his music career.[45]

Frame performed an in-store live show at London, UK's Rough Trade East record store on 8 May 2014—the store offered an album and wristband bundle package that could be purchased and collected on the evening of the performance.[39]Frame also participated in a series of radio interviews for the promotion of the album and appeared on Billy Sloan'sClyde 2radio programme, which broadcasts throughout Glasgow and West Scotland;[46]Tom Robinson's BBC Radio 6 show;[47]the radio show ofTerry Wogan,The Weekend Wogan,onBBC Radio 2;[48]the Monocle 24 radio programme "Culture with Robert Bound";[49]and BBC Radio 6 with Liz Kershaw.[50]

In a review for theObserverpublication, Phil Mongredien awardedSeven Dialsthree-out-of-five stars, explaining: "his knack for a memorable, soaring chorus is undiminished by time." Mongredien concedes that he finds the slower-tempo songs, such as "Rear View Mirror", as "less compelling", but concludes that "this is a welcome return nonetheless."[51]Qmagazine awarded the album four stars, stating, "Melodies unfold, lyrics reveal their meaning and the wait is revealed as having been worth it", whileThe Scotsmanwrote: "Frame may be a man of few words but he makes them all count". TheLine of Best Fitwebsite, in support of its 8.5/10 rating, published the following statement as part of its review: "A wonderfully understated record... approaching the restrained, heart-tugging perfection of his eighties peaks".[52]

Frame completed an interview with the French websiteLe Gorillein July 2014 and stated that his manager had informed him of a live performance in France at the end of 2014.[53]Four German dates were announced in July 2014, whereby Frame will play solo shows during October 2014.[54]

Frame appeared on the "Soho Social" programme of theSoho Radioonline media outlet on 19 August 2014, presented by Dan Gray.[55]As of September 2014, Frame is listed as one of the "Artists & Writers" of the UK arm of the Universal Music Publishing Group company.[56]

Collaborations

[edit]

Frame has maintained a long-term friendship with Edwyn Collins, who was also signed to Postcard Records in the 1980s with his bandOrange Juice.[5]Collins and Frame collaborated on the Aztec Camera albumStray,including a live performance of the song "Consolation Prize".[57]Following Sakamoto's production work on Aztec Camera'sDreamlandalbum, Frame's vocals appeared on the song "Same Dream, Same Destination", from Sakamoto's 1994 album,Sweet Revenge.[58]

Frame performed with Collins in November 2007 during Collins's first concert after his recovery from a serious illness,[59]and the pair played again at theGlastonbury Festivalin June 2008, on the Park Stage, and at the Purcell Rooms in London, UK, in September 2008.[60][61]In 2012 Collins sang "A Girl Like You" —with Frame on guitar andTim Burgesson backing vocals—and a rendition of the Orange Juice song "Falling and Laughing" —with Frame on guitar—at Burgess's "Tim Peaks Diner" café, as part of the Kendal Calling festival.[62][63]

Dan Carey and Rob Da Bank, whose band name is Lazyboy, collaborated with Frame on the song "Western Skies";[64]Frame then re-recorded the song for a solo album of the same name and has performed an acoustic rendition of the song in live settings, with the inclusion of a harmonica solo.[65][66]At a 2011 Glasgow performance, Frame explained that he had been listening toreggae-influenced music at the time of writing the lyrics and recorded the song at Da Bank's personal home.[67]

Cover versions

[edit]

Frame recordedcover versionsof "In My Life",byThe Beatles;[68]"Bad Education", byBlue Orchids;Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors";and a slowed-down version of"Jump",originally recorded byVan Halen.[12]

In regard to the Van Halen cover version, Frame explained in a 1990 interview that he had seen the band in concert in the US for his birthday and started experimenting with the song afterwards. Frame found that the lyrical content of the song conveyed sadness, in contrast to the upbeat music of "Jump", and ended up with a version that sounded like "Sweet Jane", byThe Velvet Underground.[69]

During an October 2012 solo performance at the Paisley Abbey venue inPaisley,Scotland, Frame performed a rendition of theJesse Raesong "Inside Out", which was written for the dance bandOdyssey.Frame explained that during his time as a WEA artist, he was asked about Rae, who was conveyed as a Scottish musician who always wore a kilt and helmet. Frame expressed "love" for the song and explained that he enjoyed playing the song while at home.[70]Frame played "Inside Out" during a live performance on BBC 6 Radio in early September 2014. Frame explained that, like "Jump", when "Inside Out" is slowed down, additional meanings become apparent, such as the notion of infidelity in the case of the latter.[71]

Touring

[edit]

Frame has performed a total of 58 live shows under his own name,[72]including a UK tour throughout October 2011 with a small backing band.[73]

The 30th anniversaryHigh Land, Hard Raintour of December 2013 was performed at the following UK venues: London's Theatre Royal, Manchester's Bridgewater Hall and Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall.[74]The official European tour dates following the release ofSeven Dialswere announced in late August 2014. Frame is scheduled to play in cities such as Munich, Germany; Paris, France; Amsterdam, the Netherlands; and Vienna, Austria, in addition to Aberdeen, Glasgow and London.[75]Frame stated during an August 2014 interview that he was interested in completing most of the tour by train.[55]

Influences

[edit]

In a 1988 interview, Frame spoke of the significant influence of the "punk revolution" during his early adolescence, when he began writing songs around the age of 13. He spoke of subsequently discoveringAlternative TV(ATV), which led to an exploration of earlier music influences, as ATV's co-founderMark Perrywas himself influenced byFrank ZappaandArthur Lee's bandLove.[3]

Following the release of the Aztec Camera albumDreamland,Frame explained in a 1993 Scottish television interview that the highlight of his career up until that point was meeting one of his musical heroes, American soul artistAl Green,while recording "Somewhere in My Heart" with Jonzun andMaurice Starr.Frame said that he did not know if he could ever "feel that good about music again" and then played theDreamlandsong "Safe in Sorrow", which he explains is based on the "Al Green feel".[76]

In another television interview following the release ofDreamland,Frame explained that politics were not a significant influence upon his songwriting up until that point. Frame mentionedBilly Braggand explained that while Bragg "toils" away politically, he believed that people really want to listen to personal songs:

I feel more comfortable writing, kind of, personal, one-to-one songs. I think politics is tricky, and when it comes down to it, man, my favourite records are, like, uh, you know: three chords and a prayer, you know?... but when it comes down to it, you wanna hear The Elgins, singing "Put Yourself In My Place"; preferably from a jukebox, so it's got a nice kick to it, you know?[77]

As a promotional prelude to the release ofSeven Dials,Frame appeared in music magazineQ,and also selected a playlist "of favourite songs which evoke a sense of place", as a reference to theLondon landmarkthat the album is named after. Frame's playlist included songs byJoe Strummer,Calle Sanlucar, The Clash,Grace Jones,Louis Armstrongand theCocteau Twins.[78]

Personal life

[edit]

Frame married in 1990.[69]In 1993, Frame had been residing in London for 11 years, but still considered Scotland his "spiritual" home. However, Frame explained that he was not a "patriot" and considered himself a "global citizen". His opinion was that Scotland was more meaningful thansquare sliceandplain bread,and described suchstereotypicalnotions as "nonsense".[76]

In an August 2014 radio interview, Frame explained that following the recording ofKnife,he embarked on an extended hiatus in which he "didn't really know what I was doing, to be honest." Frame said that he disappeared for three years after signing to the Warner label, while his manager communicated with Warner's representatives, who were keen to hear the next Aztec Camera album.[55]Frame was not musically productive during this period, "lying around" smoking cannabis:

[I was] contemplating the record [Love], you know, absorbing influences... did really what you should do at that age, I think, and just wasted a lot of time, reading and listening to stuff, and travelling a bit...[55]

As of August 2002, Frame lived in a "Notting Hill mansion-block flat" in London.[8]He stated in March 2014 that, while he doesn't play the guitar every day, his songwriting activity has increased since the recording ofSeven Dials.He owns a collection of guitars, including a 1974 Fender Telecaster and a series of "nice, big, fat"semi-acoustic guitars.[5]
