Never Been To Summer Camp


Just thought i'd make a little post of what i've been listening to lately. Arriving shrouded in mystery in late 2009, members’ identities cloaked in the blithe guise of Swedish teenagers who’d met at summer camp. The shroud disintegrated soon enough, the band revealed to be multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Warmsley and journalist Elizabeth Sankey. Never appearing in their own music video's, Summer Camp use scenes from 1980's swedish films and photo's of that era. The music is nothing like you've ever heard before, instead it sounds like the songs have been thought about and carefully made into memories, taking you back to your favourite summer.

They appeard at many festivals this year and leed's being one of them, i was dissapointed that i never got to see this band, only because i didnt know who they were! I first heard "Ghost Train" whilst at work quite a while back, which is were they play the mojority of new bands that i listen to that are set to be big. I'd always enjoy listening to it when it came on but never knew who sang it, until now when i did a bit of song traking! And i'm so so glad i did.
Signed to label Moshi Moshi Records, just like Bloc Party, Friendly Fires, Hot Chip, The drums, Spectrals and Lykke Li. Which is quite a Reseme to have!

Summer Camp are yet to release a full album, but for now they have their EP Young, on it some great tracks, round the moon is another favourite, possibly because the video is just amazing, i really wish i could've been in that film! The music is very different to what you'd normally here on the radio, if your tired of listening to cheesy pop groups like JLS, Lady GaGa and other shit (excuse my french) like that then i'd definatly recommend this band and definatly one to watch this year and next.
