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.
