With their sophomore release, emo-core heavies Camber show how really-good they are at what they do -- evoking melancholy and yearning with enviable adroitness. On songs like "P", "Broken Glass" and "38th & 8th", Camber use droning, fuzzed-out swaths of guitar-noise, subtle, prodding basslines and deftly melodic drum patterns to create a sophisticated backdrop for vocalist Barry Lott's soul-shrieking. And the lyrics, oh the lyrics! In true emo style they allude to loves lost and lives ruined, without ever explicitly telling a story. It is in the allusions, the implications, that yearning is stirred up within the listener. Camber's lyrics also display rhythmic sophistication; uneven meter and relaxed interpretation make the songs seem to actually sob. It is this uncommonly good songwriting that lifts Anyway, I've Been There above the pack -- I'm willing to wager that even emo-core detractors will find something moving on this CD if they give it a fair listen. Camber are definitely shining stars of their genre.
