A Camp Artist Snapshot:

A solo project started by Nina Persson of the Cardigans, A Camp provides a moodier and more eclectic outlet for the Swedish singer's warm, distinctive vocals. With intriguingly dynamic production by Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous, A Camp's country/folk-leaning self-titled 2001 album also featured input from Niclas Frisk (Atomic Swing) and Persson's husband, Nathan Larson (Shudder to Think). Eight years later, Persson, Larson, and Frisk reconvened as A Camp and unveiled COLONIA, proving that it was more than just a one-album ensemble.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.74) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[Persson] luxuriates in brooding isolations, orchestral drift and heartsick melodies that recall Sixties girl groups and the Carpenters."
Spin (p.84) - "Moonlighting Cardigan Nina Persson has a soulfully sugar-kissed voice....Beguiling, gorgeous stuff -- and smartly funny, too."
Alternative Press (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Heavenly choir harmonies, orchestral fairy dust and Persson's Disney-heroine vocals drive 'Love Has Left The Room'..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[I]t is in COLONIA's quietest moment that Persson's greatest gift becomes most audible: her knack for passing off disappointment as fulfillment."

Title Note

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.
