Secretly Canadian

Alex Cameron is an Australian musician, singer, and songwriter. He gained recognition for his solo career as a high-concept act, initially portraying a failed entertainer. Alongside his solo work, Cameron is also a member of the band Seekae. During live performances, he often collaborates with saxophonist Roy Molloy.

In 2013, Cameron independently released his debut album "Jumping the Shark" for free on his website. The album gained a cult following and was later reissued by Secretly Canadian in 2016 to reach a wider audience.

Following the success of his debut album, Cameron released his second studio album "Forced Witness" in 2017. The album featured contributions from Molloy as well as other artists such as Flowers, Olsen, and Jonathan Rado. In September 2019, he released his third studio album "Miami Memory".

Secretly Canadian is a US label based in Bloomington, Indiana. It was founded in 1996 by four individuals who are passionate about music. Originally known as Secretly Canadian Records, the label has established itself as a prominent player in the industry. In 2007, Secretly Canadian collaborated with another label to form a new entity called Jagjaguwar.

The label's first address was located at 1703 N. Maple St., Bloomington, until sometime in late 2000 or 2001. They then moved to their second address at 1021 S. Walnut St., Bloomington, which served as their headquarters until around 2004. Currently, Secretly Canadian can be found at their third and current address at 1499 W. 2nd St.

With a rich history and an impressive roster of artists, Secretly Canadian continues to make waves in the music industry. Their commitment to quality and passion for supporting talented musicians sets them apart from other labels.

Born from anxiety and fuelled by a crippling need for validation and success, Secretly Canadian re-release: 'Jumping the Shark' by Alex Cameron. This collection of short tales documents the bankrupt and morally vacant world of contemporary showbiz. Voiced by a forgotten variety show host, Ken DuPont, 'Jumping the Shark' explores issues such as guilt and humiliation in a world where everyone is to blame for an entire industry's failure - everyone except themself. 'Jumping the Shark' is as confronting as it is uplifting.  A revelation of an album not to be taken sitting down. If you like Flash and The Pan, The Reels, Angelo Badalamenti, John Maus, Robert Palmer, Lou Reed or Ryuichi Sakamoto then this is a strong recommendation for you.
