Candid Spy Camera release their debut album - 118 - on Rencheque Recordings.

The two singles released earlier in support of the album (UMLAUT and TRAVEL) have received favourable comments and 118 continues in the sme musical vein as those fine singles - old-school, 70s style electronic music. It's almost as if it was specifically designed to cater for a specific musical demographic. But that would be a very cynical thing to do, wouldn't it?
