EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Camp America - Any Kind Of Pulse + You Say Party! We Say Die! Remix

Posted Dec 4, 2008 1:58 PM by Samuel Duke

The term lap-pop has been sneaking its way into blogger vocab since people realized Fruity Loops wasn't a cereal, and British producer Camp America certainly loves playing in the same musical sandbox as all the cats making sugar-soaked party jams from their bedspreads. "Any Kind Of Pulse" stems from his self-titled EP of originals and sounds like Best Fwends trying to make soul music, a mid-tempo cloud of Casios and pop melodies that'll make you want to fly kites and have picnics and pet dogs. He's also given the once-over to some artists for a remix EP on Paper Bag, and we'll be unloading those tracks over the next week or so, beginning with his version of You Say Party! We Say Die!'s "Teenage Hit Wonder." The testy vocal and central guitar riff remain intact, but dude's added some propulsive beats and Laffy Taffy synths on top so that when the chorus of "Be my friend yah yah" goes over and over again you kind of wish you were playing video games with Andrew W.K. Can you imagine how sweaty and awesome that would be?

Sounds like: Totally Michael, Best Fwends, Matt And Kim
