Summer Camp is a UK girl-boy pop-duo. Ranges from Au Revoir Simone to Dum Dum Girls. Overproduced for sure though so keep this away from your lo-fi set, but do file it with likes of Oh Land, Camera Obscura, or Aztec Camera. The instrumentals feature prominent synths and the crooning vocals with a nostalgic feel. A solid album of girl pop/dance. Recommended: 11, 1, 7 1.* 3:08 Surfy and jangly with an anthemic chorus. A softer, poppier Dum Dum Girls 2. 3:12 Starts slightly dark and dramatic, becomes cheesy 80s pop rock with corresponding 80s action cartoon synths 3. 4:17 Intro of oscillating synth with vocal samples and crooning, becomes a catchy straight-up dance track with a melange of synths. 4.* 2:59 Whistling pop. It has an ambitious, epic-feeling scope. Kind of reminds of that the High Road by Broken Bells. Fairly generic 5. 3:01 Not a FCC warning, but “Bitch” 15 seconds in. Melodic and gentle pop that crescendos into big soulful vocals. Carried by synth 6. 3:28 Angsty, alternative rock ballad. Not my thing at all and probably not yours either. Stay away 7.* 2:31 Light springy, pop. Reminiscent of Givers, the Boy Least Likely To 8. 3:01 Shuffling synth line and relatively prominent rhythm. 9. 4:02 Sounds like Austra. Dark synth. Dark, slow, and smooth vocals. 10. 3:01 Whistling; Lily Allen pop. Almost rap-like vocals with a jingly chorus. Top 40 stuff. 11.* 3:03 Starts with overproduced intro. 20 seconds in, it becomes whispy pop with great female crooning with a bouncy/jangly chorus. Best track. 12. 3:17 Hard-hitting drum machines. Standard shimmering girl pop with warm synths and layered background vocals. | ||
