A Camp Colonia #30 in the best of 2009

Wears the Trousers Magazine published their readers poll of the top 50 albums of 2009 and A Camp’s Colonia came in at #30.

To say we waited eight long years for this follow-up to Nina Persson’s ’solo’ debut as A Camp would be telling a fib; for years she said she’d never make one! When it finally arrived, some people found Colonia disappointing, but to these ears it was every bit as strong as the self-titled. It was a little cheesy in places, admittedly, but Persson’s sweetly careworn vocals subverted that enough for us to defuse any potentially cloying moments.
