Love Camp 7

Today Greenpoint, tomorrow, the world !

About Me

This literate Brooklyn group have a keenly developed sense of interplay, and their collaborative material could have been arrived at in no other manner. With all three core members singing .. often in carefully arranged harmonies .. Love Camp 7 presents a friendly sheen that stands in contrast to the quirky turns in the music and the peculiar lyrics. They can rock out when they want to, and they want to on most songs .. but only for a little while, then they abruptly change direction. They're like a big funny guy who unexpectedly asks to borrow your eyeglasses. Confidently loopy without being comical and arty without being arch, Love Camp 7 comes up with either the oddest hooks or the hookiest oddities. And they occasionally turn the guitars up real loud.
