CMU Approved
Approved: Summer Camp
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 3 June 2010
Not a new seven-piece band straight out of Sweden, as they claimed to be when they first appeared on MySpace late last year, but actually CMU favourite Jeremy Warmsley and Platform editor Elizabeth Sankey, Summer Camp released their very lovely debut single, ‘Ghost Train’, though the very lovely Moshi Moshi in April.
A wash of 80s new wave influenced pop, the track is the perfect introduction to the duo’s small but perfectly formed canon. There are six songs currently up on MySpace, including the one which kick started the project, a cover of ‘I Only Have Eyes For You’ by The Flamingoes. A quick hunt around the internet will also throw up a “remix” of Active Child’s ‘Voice Of An Old Friend’, which is worth hearing, too. Having gone out on their first tour last month, as support act to Slow Club, you can catch Summer Camp at various festivals over the summer months.
