About Roddy Frame

Roddy Frame is a Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist who founded Aztec Camera as a teenager, pairing intricate guitar playing with literate, melodic songwriting. Records such as High Land, Hard Rain and Knife established a bright, sophisticated pop language shaped by folk, soul and post-punk as much as conventional guitar pop.

After Aztec Camera, Frame continued under his own name with a more intimate solo catalogue. Albums including The North Star, Surf and Seven Dials retain the clarity of his earlier writing while giving greater space to voice and guitar.
