The 'Gum Drop LXXV: Hear New A Camp, Win Sigur Rós' Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust Deluxe Edition
A Camp -- Cardigans chanteuse Nina Persson with husband (and Shudder To Thinker) Nathan Larson and fellow Swede Niklas Frisk -- are set to release a second album Colonia (4/28, Nettwerk), following 2001's eponymous debut. On it, the trio's joined by a number of guest musicians -- ex-Dambuilder and late-period GVB drummer Kevin March, Joan Wasser (aka Joan As Police Woman), Nicolai Dunger, and James Iha -- but what sticks out most is Persson's expressive, always comforting voice. Fittingly, we spoke with her about the lyrics and ideas behind album track "Love Has Left The Room," which debuted in this week's Drop. You can read her candid responses while you listen.

Nice... It's good to see Faraday making music.
Score = 1
A Camp album is by now the biggest grower of the year for me. Beautiful! The single and video are awful, though.
