Summer Camp - Welcome To Condale

It’d be easy to dismiss Summer Camp as lazy 80s revivalists but beneath that veneer of sneer is a heart of gold. Sounding like the soundtrack to the John Hughes movie that was never made in, let’s say Condale, this album is a pop masterpiece of sun-reflecting-off-the-newly-polished-surface-of-that-sailboat-you-took-out-once-as-a-kid-style-glistening quality. This is an album about good times in the face of heartbreak, about memories that are more real than the sepia-tinged Polaroids they are now represented by, about life. A really assured and vital release from Summer Camp.
