Introducing Camp America

October 20, 2010

My cousins are all gifted musicians. Freakishly so. It annoys me. It mostly grates me because my musical talent compares so poorly. Still my greatest accomplishment (to date) was learning how to play Walk of Life by Dire Straits on the keyboard when I was 13. So you’ll understand that this article is not a case of straightforward nepotism as my bitter jealousy still burns.

However, putting aside family envy, I would like to introduce you to Camp America.

To date Camp America’s work includes an EP released in 2008 featuring Joel Pott from Athlete and a number of remixes for artists including Marina & The Diamonds, You Say Party We Say Die! and Athlete. After a brief tour of Camp’s releases you’ll soon recognise the distinctive, unique, electro pop, nod your head we’ll eating strawberry ice cream, mini beats sounds that Camp America has developed. It’s really addictive, not in the nicotine and alcohol way but more in the ‘give me those Liquorice Allsorts’ way.

Camp America’s most recent release was this ace remix below of Oh No! from Marina & The Diamonds. Listen, enjoy, download and further explore.
