Victoryland turns vulnerability into a wonderful lo-fi pop release on My Heart Is A Room With No Cameras In It
Victoryland, the Brooklyn-based project of musician Julian McCamman, releases his new album My Heart Is A Room With No Cameras In It on January 23, 2026, via Good English Records. Positioned as an experimental pop-rock album, the release explores themes of love, disconnection, sexual frustration, and emotional exposure while balancing lo-fi immediacy with moments of polished, radio-adjacent clarity.
Produced by: Dan Howard
As an album, My Heart Is A Room With No Cameras In It operates in the space between raw home recording and refined studio production. Recorded between McCamman’s Bed-Stuy basement and producer Dan Howard’s Williamsburg studio, the record embraces a hybrid sonic identity, combining acoustic pop structures, distorted guitar textures, piano accents, glitchy electronics, and layered vocals. The production preserves fragments of the early demos while expanding them into full arrangements, reinforcing the album’s core tension between intimacy and presentation.
Several tracks function as defining moments within the album’s emotional arc. ‘Fits’ stands out as a centerpiece, stretching its hypnotic structure into an extended release that blurs repetition and catharsis through contrast-heavy instrumentation. Elsewhere, songs like ‘No Cameras’ emphasize McCamman’s newly articulated vulnerability, pairing squealing guitars with pop-forward melodies, while ‘Here I Stand’ and ‘Arcades’ highlight the album’s ability to toggle between humor, bitterness, and abstract imagery without losing cohesion.
Across its ten-track runtime, My Heart Is A Room With No Cameras In It frames pop music as a mechanism for emotional release. Rather than softening its subject matter, the album uses melody, repetition, and contrast as tools for confronting exhaustion and isolation head-on.
Victoryland’s label debut is out now via Good English Records, and is available on all major streaming platforms.
