Welcome to Condale Summer Camp SKU: APRCTLP1 Barcode: 5060164953425 15.00 £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Apricot Recording Company Released Date: 29th October 2011 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info After a single, an EP, a couple of online tracks and a whole load of excitable buzz tipping them for the top, London duo Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey – better known as Summer Camp – are finally unveiling their deliciously idiosyncratic, gloriously kaleidoscopic vision of pop with their debut full length, quite appropriately titled “Welcome To Condale”, released on their own Apricot Recording Company imprint, in conjunction with Moshi Moshi and Pledgemusic. Taking its cues from teen films from the 80’s, “Welcome To Condale” unfolds, appropriately, in cinematic fashion, bringing to vivid life a cast of misfits and prom queens, loners and lovers all going through crises of the heart, evoking a whole universe of heartbreak and longing in miniature. Listeners may already be familiar with some tracks – the sepia swoon of “Ghost Train” reappears for instance, as does the utterly beguiling live favourite “Summer Camp” but, as the upcoming single “Better Off Without You” proves, Summer Camp have much more up their sleeves than simply crafting a dreamy, hazy pop gem. Working with Pulp’s Steve Mackey, Summer Camp have gone from dabbling in nostalgic golden tones to painting with a whole vibrant palette of colour. There’s the claustrophobic menace of “I Want You”, for instance, with its shuddering synths and dangerously obsessional lyrics (“If I could I’d squeeze your hand so tight that every knuckle would crack/ I’d wrap my arms around you and snap every bone in your back”), while, on the opposite end of the spectrum, “Losing My Mind” marries an infectious, whistle-worthy chorus with a tale of love gone sour, with Warmsley and Sankey singing “well this house isn’t big enough for the both of us/ if you want to leave, I suppose you must”. “Welcome to Condale” meanwhile, with its protagonist’s grand dreams of small town escape, is simultaneously aching and romantic, its underlying sense of melancholia only spurred on by Warmsley’s C86 indebted, elided guitar strokes. But it is the majestic closing track “1988” that sums up Summer Camp’s unique sensibilities so perfectly. Playing out like the best end-of-the-movie soundtrack Molly Ringwald could have ever asked for, keyboards twinkle and shimmer as Sankey belts out the simple yet chest-swelling refrain “hold on to me/ and I’ll hold on to you”, and their entire cast dance in unison at the high school prom as the credits come up. It is at once affecting and magical, nostalgic yet universal, and brings the album to a fitting close Artist Summer Camp Genre Rock And Pop Label Apricot Recording Company Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings 1.
