A Camp is the solo
side project of
Nina Persson, vocalist for the popular Swedish indie/pop band
The Cardigans, who worked alongside
Mark Linkous of
Sparklehorse, who also produced it.
A Camp was formed during The Cardigans' break after several years of touring and recording albums, the last of which was, at the time,
Gran Turismo. While Gran Turismo may have been darker musically, A Camp reflects Persson's gifts for clever juxtaposition of somber lyrics with more upbeat music. This time, however, Persson opted for a country music style more akin to the recent popularity of alt-country in the US.
