My Take
Roddy Frame is catnip for anyone who loves melodic, literate guitar pop. Founding Aztec Camera as a teenage prodigy in East Kilbride, he gave Scotpop some of its most wistful, intelligent melodies, and then quietly matured into an elder statesman of the form. What I value is his refusal to chase trends: after the band wound down, he kept releasing thoughtful, well-crafted solo work on his own terms. There's a craftsman's patience in his catalogue that rewards close listening. For me, an evening spent with a Roddy Frame record feels like an unhurried, genuine luxury.
