Camper Van Beethoven Artist Snapshot:

Their hoedown-meets-garage-rock sound of 1980s college rock heroes Camper Van Beethoven is a unique blending of styles. Humor had its place in their music as well--never as a jokey prop, but for added warmth. By the end the band's repertoire was incredibly rich, combining broad anthemic strokes with riveting group interplay. From CVB's ashes arose the less quirky Cracker, which achieved greater commercial success.

After a couple albums and EPs on independent labels, Camper Van Beethoven made the step up to the majors with 1988's OUR BELOVED REVOLUTIONARY SWEETHEART. With their judicious mix of electric and acoustic instruments, the songs are uniformly rich and warm. This album introduced some of their finest songs, including "Eye Of Fatima," "She Divines Water," and "My Path Belated." Their half-glimpsed lyrics employ oblique poetics and humor in equal measure, adding up to a winning mix of inviting sadness and gritty hope. David Lowery's everyman-style voice is the perfect tourist in their land of semi-exotic settings--far eastern colors hop into the backseat of a rock & roll jalopy and motor around eastern Europe. This a fine and punchy quintet, unobtrusively produced and a joy to play loud. Victor Krummenacher's bass playing is solidly inventive throughout, and Jonathan Segel's violin is the icing on the cake.
