Summer Camp make music for people who fall in love every day on the tube, for people who enjoy walking home after a night out, for people who like the top of car parks, for people whose favourite smell is petrol or paint marker. The London duo veer from floaty electro sequences (new song Ghost Train) to jangly alt-pop (Round the Moon) with the joy of a child kicking through puddles. Elizabeth Sankey’s vocals can sometimes be loud and stark, set against the lo-fi stylings, but there’s always a bleached-out keyboard to soften the blow.
Courting a jj-style mystery, Jeremy and Elizabeth previously pretended they were Swedish and tried for a while to remain unknown. This interview with It’s Getting Boring By The Sea has recently surfaced.
I genuinely love this song. It’s genius. It reminds me of M83 and The Knife. It’s unique. I expect we’ll be hearing more from this band!
