A Camp - Colonia *

Artist:

A Camp

Description:

Nina Persson`s A Camp project debuted in 2001 with a convincingly countrified record, featuring production by Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse, and songs from Persson that accentuated her bright singing personality. It not only succeeded on its own terms, but also proved a charming antidote to the increasingly poisonous records from Persson`s main band, the Cardigans, during the 2000s. Unfortunately, the project languished during the rest of the decade, until another Cardigans break when Persson wrote the songs that form 2009`s COLONIA. Produced with fellow Swede Niclas Frisk and her husband, Nathan Larson (a film composer and former guitarist for Shudder to Think), COLONIA, as it title indicates, deals with colonialism, that thorny issue that modernity continually thinks is behind it until it rears its ugly head again. Persson seems to have some issues with the modern world in general, and America particularly, and her songs and performances here are most effective in this line. The production is in the vein of classic pop of the `60s and `70s, with threads connecting everything from girl groups to art rock.
