Stray is the fourth album by Scottish group Aztec Camera, released in June 1990 on WEA in the UK and on Sire Records in the US.

[2] Stray was praised for its diversity of songs and styles, and for the assured nature of Roddy Frame's lyrics (which had been considered the weak-point of some of his earlier material).

Its understated production was also received positively, particularly coming after the group's previous album Love, which sold well in the United Kingdom but had been criticised by some[by whom?]

By 1990, the band's line-up consisted of frontman Roddy Frame, bassist Paul Powell, drummer Frank Tontoh and keyboardist Gary Sanctuary.

"[8] Author Dave Thompson wrote in his book Alternative Rock (2000) that "The Crying Scene" and "Notting Hill Blues" "alone repair the damage of Love's big sheen over-production," going on to highlight "Good Morning Britain" for its charm.
