CAMP NOT CAMP
On a new EP, Nina Persson’s band A Camp covers David Bowie’s “Boys Keep Swinging,” Grace Jones’ “Done it Again, and Pink Floyd’s “Us and Them.” “I think the lyrics are timeless,” says the Swedish singer, reached at a Minneapolis tour stop, of the Floyd tune. Well, we’re not sure about that. But we are sure that Persson’s latest album with A Camp, Colonia, will please both fans of her former band the Cardigans (“Lovefool”) and bring some new ones into the fold. Reviews of A Camp’s current tour, with a lineup that includes Canadian Emm Gryner on keyboards, have been positive, too; at least one reviewer noted the singer’s “fierce” sense of humour. Sure, some people can’t resist the urge to shout their requests for Cardigans material. And, says Persson, she feels sad at not being able to accommodate them. A Camp plays Richard’s June 10. Tickets at the door.

Nina Persson and A Camp bandmates, at Richard’s June 10, hold a press conference defending the lyrics to Pink Floyd’s “Us and Them.”

It sounded when A Camp was first getting started it was a very scaled-back affair, especially compared to the Cardigans. But now, maybe not so much. The new record is very big at times.

Yeah, absolutely. The first record I had a need to do something minimalist. The music I was listening to at the time was certainly a lot more minimalist than the Cardigans. I felt the need for doing something that was worked more with the gaps in between those sounds. Also, I was working with Mark Linkous then, who is the master of noise. And that’s something I was wanting as well [laughs]. Beautiful noise. But all of us have it in our veins–the “pop” sentiment–we are builders, we like to add stuff, we’re maximalists at heart. We all have that drive in is. But in a way, I think this record might be truer to our instincts.
