Cameron McGill will be familiar to fans of Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s, the band he joined in 2009 on keyboards and guitars, but the Chicago-based songwriter has shared the stage with a long list of acts — among them Rachael Yamagata, Cory Chisel, Damien Rice, Kathleen Edwards, Lisa Loeb, Ben Kweller and Martha Wainwright — and has self-released five albums and two EPS since 2004.
His sixth, the forthcoming Gallows Etiquette (out October 15) finds McGill in the company of a new band. After a three-year run with his previous incarnation, Cameron McGill & What Army, the new lineup further refines McGill’s version of baroque soul — a marriage of the American songbook stylings of Randy Newman and Harry Nilsson with a rhythm section drawing on the Stax Records catalog.
The Big Takeover is very pleased and proud to present the first single from Gallows Etiquette, the propulsive and soaring “Good Love” — sounds like a hit to us!
