Myth Confirmed:
Summer Camp is uh-mazing.
It’s not like these guys haven’t gotten their due attention, but being the idiot I am, I haven’t gotten around to giving them a fair listen till now. And man am I glad I finally did! They’re not even trying to hide the fact that they not only want to help usher in summer a little early, but they want to make it stay…forever.
Summer Camp is composed of Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey who are both from the UK. And the thing that actually caught my eye was Jeremy Warmsley. I’ve actually been listening to him for years now, and was blown away that he had a hand in this project just because it’s so different from his usual folk-balladry:
Jeremy Warmsley = I Promise (la blogotheque version)
NME did an amazing write up on them, and I think said what needed to be said just about as good as anyone could:
“Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey have created their own oozy, woozy world of suburban teen dreams, where the girls move like Molly Ringwald and the guys live their lives by the Bible of John Cusack.
Serving up solo Shangri-Las sashays over dumpster-dived Hall a& Oates beats and retro film quotes at their very own Breakfast Club, their soft-core, soft-focus pop is a long-lost soundtrack to the endless summer nights aching teenage turmoil and formative fumbles that exist in the fuzz of worn-out VHS tapes and big screens of drive-in movie palaces.”
