Summer Camp have just released a Christmas EP
Summer Camp have announced a new Christmas EP, called, erm, Christmas.
The indie-pop duo have also announced an acoustic show, which will take place at London's Hackney Picturehouse on 19 December (and a screening of festive comedy Elf will follow).
Speaking about the EP, the Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey say:
"We love Christmas and we love Christmas music. From Bing Crosby to Low, there's a lot of great festive tunes out there. Christmas can be a time of high drama, like the old family argument that always seems to come up, or it can be a time when you realise all the great stuff in your life. We've made an EP with some new songs celebrating all those things, and we've put couple of our favorite Christmas covers on there too.
"We made a video for one of the songs. We've always collected vintage home movies, the same way we collect old family photos - we're creepy like that. It's the America we grew up looking at and loving from a distance, the America we realized was only part of the picture. It's bittersweet now - still beautiful, but we've realized it's something of a fantasy. So we start to wonder more and more about the reality, about what else was going on in these people's lives and the lives of those we never see."
The band's third studio album Bad Love was released earlier this year on Moshi Moshi.
