Childhood share summery synth-soul number "Cameo"
South London outfit Childhood have shared "Cameo", the second single from upcoming sophomore record Universal High.
The track follows lead single "Californian Light" in teasing the follow up to 2014 debut Lacuna.
Ben H Allen III (Deerhunter, Animal Collective) produces Universal High, which was recorded in Atlanta last summer.
"Universal High represents many things to us as a band," says the group's Ben Romans-Hopcraft. "It signifies change, both musically and mentally whilst also revisiting influences that confounded our interest in music in the first place. What I think is noticeable is the direct nature of the songs and its influences. Being surrounded by soul music, classic pop songs and music with any form of groove all my life, these influences began to speak for themselves within these new songs we were writing”.
Childhood have a busy summer planned, with festivals including Latitude, Simple Things, and Iceland Airwaves all scheduled. They've also get a headline date at London's Scala in November - find out more.
