Alex Cameron is a duo from Sydney, Australia featuring bandleader Cameron and saxophone player Roy Molloy. Frontman Alex comes with a ratty River Phoenix look and an ear for great pop music usually found on stage in an empty bar. On "Stranger's Kiss," Cameron's duet with Angel Olsen, the ambition of Alex Cameron expands from insular synthpop to a sweeping, Springsteen-inspired ballad about a strange loneliness.

That feeling is embodied in the video written and directed by Jemima Kirke of Girls fame, which is premiering today on The FADER. Kirke stars as an Alex Cameron doppelganger who's searching the streets for her double. It's funny, and strange, and like the song, it's got more than enough power to carry you through the emotions it elicits.

Over email, Cameron gave a moving reading of the clip.
