Indie duo Summer Camp fully unleashed their irresistible 80s inspired synth pop upon the world last Autumn, with their magical debut album, Welcome to Condale. Now, following on from the release of 'Down' and 'Better Off Without You', they are set to release album track 'Losing My Mind' on 19 March via Apricot Recording/Moshi Moshi. The new single will come backed with an acoustic version of the track as well as a Saint Etienne remix. Summer Camp are also preparing for a their UK tour next month which closes [...]

Our blogger friends over at ATG, have organized a a KILLER show at U Street Music Hall tonight (RSVP and get more info HERE) featuring Summer Camp, Gigamesh, and Ghost Death. This video has been floating around for a while now, but it is just infectious enough for me to share. This track [...]

For those of you keeping score at home, this is Ghost Beach 's third appearance on ATG (here are one and two for those of you who have not—tsk tsk), confirming their status as what our good friends over at Neon Gold Records have labeled "NYC's next big things" and reconfirming our own recent poetic waxing sessions. Even if Ghost Beach hadn't already been wowing electropop fans from Bushwick to Adams Morgan, the duo's new single "Too Young" exudes the effervescent, youthful sound that is all the evidence we could ever need: with a sound [...]
[mp3] Summer Camp: "Better Off Without You" It's been a quick moment since we checked in on our friends from the UK Summer Camp . Last year saw the release of their highly lauded debut album ' Welcome to Condale .' It's always an event when they make it to the states - so if you missed them last night at Mercury Lounge, you can catch them tonight at Glasslands. See you there. Just listening to the song above should be enough to convince you it's worth it.

Facebook After writing up some bands lately whose names have either undersold or misrepresented the music they present, it's rather refreshing to have an artist whose public identity promises exactly what they have to offer. And that artist is Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves Of Destiny . A grandiose name, to be sure, and one that's matched by the title of their just-released debut album Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose . There's no way that labels like those could herald anything less than grandiose [...]

These guys are fun. Sound a lot like Tennis. Summer Camp are a London based duo formed in 2009. The band did not initially reveal their identities, claiming to be six Swedish teenagers, but a report by independent music newspaper The Stool Pigeon revealed that they were solo artist Jeremy Warmsley and journalist Elizabeth Sankey.

Well, 2011. You were quite the year! So much so that I've only been able to recover enough to think about you a full week into 2012. Crazy, huh? New jobs, lots of change, oodles of shenanigans, and yes, lots of good music. So much so, that I undoubtedly missed vast quantities of things that [...]

It's been a good day for Summer Camp . Not only has Welcome to Condale made the Guardian's top album short list , the duo has announced a handful of US dates in February.

Eu sei, já tá meio tarde, provavelmente a essa hora todo mundo já comemorou a data e está apenas relaxando, mas não tinha como deixar passar em branco. Sempre torci o nariz para as infames "canções natalinas", sempre gravadas essa época do ano, mas não tive como deixar de ouvir quando algumas das minhas bandas favoritas resolverem entrar na onda esse ano. E ainda bem o fiz. Algumas das canções abaixo nem cara de Natal tem, enquanto outras aproveitam o clima de reflexão da data para criaram composições sóbrias, bem orquestradas e belas. Confira as oito melhores canções natalinas lançadas [...]
Posted in Soundbite A lot of people, myself included, are probably stuffed full of Turkey right now. If you're being bombarded with dodgy Christmas songs all day and need a break, look no further. Turn off Bieber and turn up Summer Camp. They've created 'All I Wonderful Christmas Is You', a mash up of 'Wonderful Christmas Time' by [...]
