Summer Camp - Welcome to Condale: album stream

Having played guardian.co.uk/music's New Band of the Day gig in London earlier this year (alongside Wretch 32 and Rumer), the lovable, teen-movie-referencing duo known to their mums as Elizabeth Sankey and Jeremy Warmsley now release their debut album. Beginning with Better Off Without You (a shoo-in for best song of the year), what follows is a collection of summery, synth-drenched tunes tailor-made to soundtrack the getting-ready-for-the-prom montage in an 80s high-school movie. Partly funded by donations via pledgemusic.com (where you can still buy Summer Camp goodies, including one of Jeremy's books and a "batch of Elizabeth's famous chocolate brownies"), Welcome to Condale happily references the past, with songs named after My So-Called Life characters and coming-of-age movies . In Shermer -esque fashion the title itself is the name of a fictional suburb of LA, and the Summer Camp website is rich in teen angst-lite and Super 8 nostalgia. Let us know what you think of the album in the comments below.
