The Hidden Cameras with Motor Entertainment are pleased to announce a remix album of 2009’s Origin:Orphan on the heels of its fifteen year anniversary entitled Origin:Orphan Remixed which includes never-before-heard remixes from their critically acclaimed album. Pet Shop Boys’ organic remix of “Colour of a Man” was never properly released until now as well as the upbeat Noblesse Oblige remix of “Origin:Orphan“. Also featuring remixes by Hidrogenesse, Holy Fuck, Stuart Price featuring Jake Shears and Dolby Anol, the whole album plays as an alternate version of Origin:Orphan and with an exact playing time of 60 minutes is a unique work of art in its own right.

We are pleased to announce we have digitally re-released our fourth studio album Origin:Orphan with Motor Entertainment with updated artwork. In addition we have also made the album’s singles “In the NA” and “Underage” available. The album was recorded between 2007-09 by Don Kerr in Toronto and Sebastian Lee Philipp in Berlin.

The Hidden Cameras in collaboration with Rough Trade Records, today announce a 20th anniversary expanded reissue of our second album Mississauga Goddam to be released on October 11th 2024. The reissue features 4-track demos, b-sides and live session recordings. To mark the announcement of this reissue, a never before seen video of the band performing “High Upon The Church Grounds” live at Old Vic Chapel in Toronto is also being shared today. Also newly available today is an HD upgrade of the video for one of the singles from the album, “I Believe In The Good Of Life“.
