Summer Camp:

Summer Camp have been fooling me for a while now, and it finally looks like things are about to get real. The first release ‘Ghost Train’ finding its way to 7” via Moshi Moshi come April..

If you find yourself in London this Saturday 13th, you might just find SC making a trail in some low-level club somewhere.. Jus sayin’

Active Child:

Active Child pushes some kind of wicked Gospel that’s for sure..

With Pat Grossi’s skeletal production and clarion call vocals, this is all breath-taking stuff..

Dropping a 7” with the ever-prosperous Transparent on Jan 11th, we’ve also got an excellent rework of the b-side from Summer Camp, complete with samples from ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’..

She Was A Vision - Active Child
Voice Of An Old Friend (Summer Camp Bedford Falls Remix) - Active Child

Summer Camp // 4-Track:

Mysterious London duo Summer Camp have been making some serious waves in recent times with their wonderfully hazy brand of melancholic pop music..

Hope for a single come spring, and in the meantime why not while away the hours flicking through their blog…

Ghost Train - Summer Camp
I Only Have Eyes For You - Summer Camp

We asked the guys for their perfect four songs in a feature we’re calling 4-Track.. Read and listen below..

Whole Wide World - Wreckless Eric

“We love the understated passion of this song and it came from a great era for Stiff Records along with Jona Lewie et al. It’s our party trick.”

Boy In The Bubble - Paul Simon

“We used to listen to Graceland on long car journeys when we were kids. Anything that can distract hyperactive children must be a classic. It’s a great one to have grown up with, as you start to appreciate how ground-breaking it was.”

The Tears Of A Clown - Smokey Robinson

“The lyrics of this are heartbreaking, but with the great harmonies and beat it is also an incredible party song. We love the thick sound of Motown.”

Sometimes - My Bloody Valentine

“We love how this is a really simple sad little acoustic guitar song just played really loudly through loads of Marshall amplifiers. It has a very beautiful melody and feeling and the sound just seems to completely surround you.”
