Summer Camp are a band that passed me by in 2010, which I am damn ashamed of. Today I picked out their EP,
Young, purely because I liked the cover art which depicts a polaroid photograph of some sweet (yet dorky) 70s youths at a dance. I was pleasantly surprised by the tracks on this record too! As the band name, album title and cover art suggests, their music is every part nostalgic. Listening to it, puff sleeves, scrunchies and dunlops come to mind, as do faded polaroids of times past. Their sound is a blur of classic pop/ folktronica, with use of synths and echoey vocals on most tracks. Elizabeth Sanky has a voice that can be compared to a young Debbie Harris and Jeremy Warmsley is, well, he's Jeremy Warmsley isn't he? 'Nuff said.
BBC Music said,
“The Young EP comes crashing on, bristling with gems from a bygone era where the permanence of relationship drama has been sieved out. The duo’s love for the fuzzy world of 1980s John Hughes movies is paraded for all to see.”
