The harder it is to find search results after Googling a band's name, the cooler they are. The more difficult to come across, the more exclusive they appear. Take for example similar artists Beach House or Tennis. According to this scale, Summer Camp is indeed [...]
I hate to say it, but synthpop is getting old, again. I feel like every other self-identifying "indie" band honors that hit-or-miss period of the 1980s with their own entrances into the arena of synth-laden bubble gum pop. Summer Camp is the latest of such acts, though I admit I find them punchier than the other youngsters. Welcome To Condale , Summer Camp's adolescence-reminiscent debut album, features lots of clapping, clips from 1980s teenage camp movies (Weird Science, Say Anything) and spunky female vocals put against almost deafening synthetic roars. Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey channel St. [...]
Summer Camp - Welcome To Condale By Rosie Duffield The majority of people who are familiar with Summer Camp have been waiting for Welcome To Condale with eager anticipation. After several singles and an EP, their appetites are finally sated by a full-length album from the London based duo. On first listen, Welcome To Condale seems like it could be the soundtrack to Footloose or The Breakfast Club (or any similar '80s teen flick), with its outpouring of [...]
Recent obsession Summer Camp (which I covered here a few weeks back) is bathing in the Halloween spirit this year with their video for "Down," off their debut full-length Welcome to Condale , which drops next week on Moshi Moshi . The video is comprised of dozens of .gifs from a Halloween house party. In other words, it was crafted to be put on ponybraxton. The entire album is streaming on Prefix's soundcloud, so go preview it . Summer Camp may just have won the imaginary award [...]
Fresh and hot! "Probably Right" is the b-side of the "Better off without you" single of Summer Camp. This mystical boy-girl (Elizabeth Sankey and Jeremy Warmsley) duo is spreading a breeze of past era sounds… The single is taken from their upcoming album, Welcome to Condale, which is gonna be released October 31st via Moshi [...]
First TEETH , now Summer Camp? We're clearly on a Moshi Moshi binge of late. We can't help it that the London-based label keeps pumping out hits on hits on hits , the most recent of which being Brit-pop duo of Elizabeth Sankey and Jeremy Warmsley. You may remember Warmsley from way back in '07, when his "Dirty Blue Jeans" got some blog love . The duo recently released another nostalgic pop piece in the form of "Better Off Without You" on the heels of their 2010 breakthrough "Round the Moon." If you enjoy this [...]
Summer Camp viene haciendo ruido hace muchísimo tiempo. De hecho tan buenas e interesantes son sus producciones que Joaquín, a fines del 2010, aseguró que su EP fue uno de los mejores que aparecieron durante ese año. No es poco, sin lugar a dudas. Después del anuncio finalmente de su primer LP, que estará entre todos nosotros el 31 de octubre bajo el nombre de Welcome To Condale . Como no podía ser de otra manera, algunas de las canciones que estarán en la producción ya las conocemos porque, vamos, [...]
Summer Camp swooned us last year with a chain of excellent retro-pop gems like "Round The Moon", "Ghost Train" but as evident by "Better Off With You", the first single on their upcoming LP Welcome to Condale , their best tunes could be yet to come. The track is perhaps the best encapsulation of the British boy/girl duo's luminous, wall-of-sound style tunes with Elizabeth Sankey's captivating vocal performance and Jeremy Warmsley's effervescent surf-pop instrumentation. The video consummates the band's love of everything vintage with sepia-toned images of the band split-screened with clips that could [...]
Tweet Nothing screams happiness and freedom like shrugging off some dead-weighted asshole/bitch you sometimes used to call your other half. It's how Summer Camp are rolling on the second new track from their debut album which is still being funded by awesome people like ourselves. Around about this time last month they dropped a new track called "Nobody Knows You" , which is still up in the air as to whether it appears on said debut album, but let's hope [...]
Summer Camp make lo-fi pop music inspired by a love for 80's rom-com's (complete with nods to John Hughes). Intended as an experiment the pair recorded for fun, Summer Camp was not prepared for how quickly music fans would take notice. Never having even performed live before, the duo was suddenly looking at a full tour (including a showcase at SXSW) and press knocking down their door for interviews. Find out what all the hype is about, and get lost in Jeremy Warmsley (vocals/synth/guitar) and Elizabeth Sankey's (vocals) hazy pop world. [...]
Tweet By the name, and the general release season of their music, you'd be want to think that Summer Camp's music is all sweltering in heat and awash with waves of summer. And camps . You'd be right for the most part, but with this new song "Nobody Knows You" you'd be wrong. There's no information about it other than it's free, and what it's called. There's also what it sounds like and that's pretty fucking good, with Elizabeth Sankey's voice [...]
If you haven't noticed the attention we've been paying Summer Camp then it's probably your first time here. With London as their home base Jeremy Warmsley & Elizabeth Sankey aka Summer Camp have spent the last year making earnest, electronic pop songs and subtly increasing their share of the airwaves. Summer Camp is currently in Austin, TX at the culmination of a small American tour playing a handful of shows for SXSW. We got the chance to talk to Jeremy and Elizabeth the other day while they were hanging in a California park playing with two [...]
![[Listen/Download] – New Song By Summer Camp – "I Want You"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3233634_lg.jpg)
London-based duo Summer Camp have released a brand new song, "I Want You". The track follows last year's excellent EP, "Young" and "I Want You" expands on the sounds explored on that EP, but kicks them up a notch. This track is bigger, bolder and harder than anything Summer Camp has released previously . It features a dancy background beat and eerie synths as well as ethereal and haunting vocals from frontwoman Elizabeth Sankey. Sankey's voice is my favorite part of the Summer Camp sound; is so distinctively gorgeous. "I Want You" will [...]

You're a cool cat, right? I mean if you're reading this you must be, viewing of this most prestigious of websites is by invitation only which is why I reveal so many personal details. Well because you're a cool cat then you must share a love for Destiny's Child like myself and these guys do. I genuinely enjoy most of their music, and Beyonce just took that to a whole new level with her solo work. I downloaded a fan-made "Best Of" album of the best Beyonce tracks with some Destiny's Child songs thrown in for good measure, [...]
Completely abandoning their name and getting all Santa Camp on us, Summer Camp , the previously-mysterious-but-now- not have recorded a cover The Waitresses classic Christmas song from the 802s, "Christmas Wrapping". I was listening to it on repeat all day a couple of days ago when I was wrapping presents and it's excellent, so if you're up this Christmas morning and are about to go unwrap some gifts but had to check your favourite site first, then give it a listen and get even more Christmassy. Enjoy! Summer Camp - "Christmas Wrapping" (The Waitresses [...]
Is it compulsory to only listen to seasonal music in said season? If so, Summer Camp are screwed. I guess we won't be hearing anything new from them for another eight months or so, but it's a good thing they left us with a bunch of summer-sounding happy-jams to get us through the winter and for when the sun comes back out in March. There's no word of an album yet but I'm sure it's in the pipeline, however they did just release an EP called "Young" via Moshi Moshi 10 days ago, and a new single [...]
Who: Summer Camp What: Elizabeth Sankey and Jeremy Warmsley; keyboards, vocals and guitars. Amidst rumours the band were a group of Swedish kids, London's Summer Camp (singer-songwriter Jeremy Warmsley and editor of Platform maga... Read more..
words: Jamie Milton In their debut EP, ' Young ', Summer Camp may have surprised many by emerging with a fully-thought body of work, one that pins them to several genres and music scenes at the same time. One of which is classy disco R&B, found in ' Veronica Sawyer '. This could fit into a closing scene of a 'Clueless'-inspired Hollywood movie - the last dance, the inevitable kiss. Elizabeth Sankey repeats the timely phrase " I'll never be young again… " It's an unashamed 80's ballad, [...]
Tweet The duo Elizabeth Sankey and Jeremy Warmsley , Summer Camp , will release an EP (Young EP) and a single (Round The Moon) on Moshi Moshi in September. The six song EP will be released on Sept. 6 and the single (two songs) on Sept 13. I've been a fan of Jeremy Warmsley's music for several years, but in Summer Camp, I prefer the songs where Elizabeth Sankey sings. She's got a lovely voice, and it fits this music perfectly. [...]
I've been hearing about London-based duo, Summer Camp, for a while now from blogs like Gorilla vs Bear and Stereogum , but it wasn't till I recently read that the formerly anonymous duo included solo artist and sometimes Fanfarlo member, Jeremy Warmlsey. The previously artist spotlighted , Warmlsey teams up with the sublimely-voiced Elizabeth Sankey to make hazy, nostalgic indie pop with retro synths, drum machines, surf-rock guitars, and fuzzy guy/girl vocals. The band has said "we kind of imagine that we're writing songs for an 80s teen movie" and named John Cusack as one of their biggest influences. In [...]
