Camping is German Bossanova recorded in Washington DC. Is it an oddity? Yes, a delicious mutant engineered to startle ears and electrify curiosities. The shining spirit behind Camping is German star Henning Fritzenwalder. His voice flows with the lyrical coo of Bossanova father Joao Gilberto. Language barriers crumble as melodies rise. Vocals soar with understated sophistication evoking warm breezes. Henning enlisted friends Stephen Gardner and Ben Bailes to color the sound complete. The American duo, known for making railway inspired soundwaves as Chessie, spread the instrumental palette while refining the essence. The cornerstones of Bossanova stand tall. Drums, guitar, and voices shine with soul while abstract elements fly into the mix. 1960’s Brazil tuned in by a time traveling radio. Short-wave crackles and static frame the shuffling glow. Camping is an excursion into fantasies conjured by sizzling rhythms and sparkling chords. The heat of Brazil is reflected through DC’s humidity. Waves of reverb lick toes and foam away into the horizon. Swaying palms appear on the inside of dreaming eyelids. Suburban Shore is familiar, warm, and yet startlingly different. Camping takes ears on an adventure in sensual sound.
