A Camp (usa)

Originally formed as a Swedish musical duo by The Cardigans front woman/lyricist Nina Persson and Atomic Swing musician Niclas Frisk, A Camp has since evolved into a trio with the addition of American film composer, Shudder to Think member, and Nina’s husband, Nathan Larson. As the title Colonia suggests, the new album is a journey thru a myriad of themes, events and ideas which have been prevalent throughout history and remain true today. Colonia is the follow-up to A Camp’s 2001 self-titled debut that was produced by indie superhero Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse and earned them 4 Swedish Grammies. If the first record was a mash up of Americana and minimalist eclecticism, Colonia draws from a wider set of colours, drawing on historical imagery.......from the opium den to the Belgian Congo, from the Namibian desert by starlight to Victorian New York by gaslight, and the Bowery of the '70s by neon.
