Artist: Summer Camp

If Summer Camp's 2011 debut full-length, Welcome to Condale , was the London-based duo's "love letter to the days of being a teenager" and an ode to the 1980s, then the Always EP is a documentation of the summer a few years into college, the one where you don't quite fit in at home anymore, and your friends have moved away, and you spend the hot July days pining for the fall semester. The bright, blue eyeshadow and wavy, blonde hair have been traded in for thick, [...]

I wish I could be in Summer Camp . Lack of musical ability and pessimism preventing me from being near 'lovely' enough aside, the reality is that I'd never (ever) be able to pull off that darkly tinted sweetness, nor would I ever be cool enough to be part of indie's most charming Mr and Mrs. Summer Camp for me, are the kind of band I would have pretended to be part of if I was an American teenager in the 80s. The type I'd buy short shorts behind my mom's back, so that I had appropriate attire for [...]

​ I'll admit, this song gets pretty awkward when, with almost no hint, it switches from grove mode to mellow rap. The occurrence doesn't make much sense to me, but oddly enough, it works. The vocals are clear and driven, and Hal Williams' (Odd Future) production is strong.

Summer Camp - City

Face-melting UK four piece  Trails are making quite a name and quite a noise for themselves. Latest video is for new track Is My Purple Your Purple? , which they are also giving away as a free download. a [...]

An EP is always an opportunity for an artist to explore new sounds that are outside of the comfort zone. On the latest leak from Summer Camp ’s upcoming Always EP, “City” takes us to the dark heat of the city for a rugged love story. Elizabeth Sankey pleas for her true lover to return to her, and no matter how much she loves on with her life, there’s only one person for her.  This is easily the darkest and most seductive I’ve heard this duo, and I like it a lot. I mean there’s [...]

Around July, my love/hate relationship with D.C. boils over to a fiery loathing as I scurry from my air conditioned bedroom onto the sweltering 8AM macadam to the brief reprieve of a (sometimes) air conditioned metro car, before walking the excruciatingly humid ten minutes to my office. However, all pit stains aside, there is something to be said for summer in the capital city. “City,” the new track off of British nostalgic pop duo Summer Camp from their forthcoming Always EP deviates radically from their earlier light-hearted, sun-drenched material to produce an [...]

Summer Camp es de esas bandas que se nota que llegaron para quedarse (al menos si logran lidiar con el mundo de la fama, que a muchos se les complica). Este dúo de Inglaterra formado por Jeremy Warmsley y Elizabeth Sankey hicieron una primera producción que los llevó a estar en la parte más alta, aparecer en los festivales más importantes y ser tapas de varias revistas. No es extraño que todos estemos tan emocionados con el lanzamiento de Always su [...]

UK indie pop duo Summer Camp that we've written about a couple of times before most recently here are getting ready to release New EP Always . They have a video for the title track which is pretty cute, but I dig the song even better than the video. These guys definitely have great pop sensibility. Check those out below and be on the lookout for the EP when it comes out on Moshi Moshi July the 10th . You [...]

• Summer Camp - Always

Tweet A friend of mine shared a gag on twitter. It went something like this; 'UK to trial new streamlined seasons: Winter and Hot Winter'. Ha, that's funny. Funny like accidentally removing one of your eyes during a pencil sharpening accident, but then realising it looks like a pretty and colourful pickled onion. Ha, funny. What would be FUNNY was if summer ACTUALLY STARTED. RAGE. The mistake us English types make in this instance is to do one of two things; we either get [...]
