Summer Camp - Outside
Premiere from Always EP
Summer Camp are an unstoppable force. On the heels of their first full length, a month later they’re already working on a respectable 20minish EP, five tracks full of music heading in a very different direction.
The first two tracks to surface from the EP sounded more or less like the Summer Camp I’ve come to love, including Always (with the awesome hostage n cake eating music video) and Life, maybe the home run single.
Outside is the last track on Always, and it seems like its the culmination of a building momentum across this little EP, gettin to a frantic pop dance beat. This one sounds like such a departure from the slow scratchy tracks of three years past, and I don’t say that with any negative connotations.
It reminds me of old Of Montreal at their best circa Satanic Panic in the Attic or The Sunlandic Twins.
Honestly I think this EP is an excellent mixture of the new and old sound, and as long as they don’t lose their roots completely, I’m down for speeding up the rhythm.
Summer Camp - Always EP 12” on Ltd colored vinyl and signed is sold out. You had your fair warning, but you can still grab it on plain Jane un-autographed vinyl here.
Set to be on constant rotation soon as the vinyl arrives here.
