A Camp first drew breath in a forest in Northern Sweden, neck deep in snow, in the waning of the last millennium, amongst families of foxes.
It began a collaborative effort between two Swedish humans: pop star and former figure skater Nina Persson, whose band The Cardigans had seen crazy success in the roaring 90s, and Niclas Frisk, an outdoorsman and explorer who had himself enjoyed pop stardom with his band Atomic Swing.
In common was a love for classic American music, and a melancholy both universal and somehow highly specific to the Scandinavian psyche.
Taken from their second album Colonia, A Camp are releasing second single "Love Has Left The Room" on May 4th.
A Camp will also be touring the UK in April and May.
