Long time no posting. Even more than I was intending when I warned that I would be a bit incommunicado for the early part of June. To the extent that it’s now the end of June and I haven’t posted in two weeks. Yikes.
But after packing all my stuff into storage, flying across the country, helping my girlfriend pack all HER stuff, attending her graduation and all the related events and parties and things, heading to New York for a few days (if you get a chance, check out the Frogs exhibit at the Museum of Natural History, BTW), and playing some board games…I’m finally in Hanover for the summer.
Thus, blogging resumes. And what better way to get back into things than talking about Nina Persson? The front-woman for the Cardigans (who are a much better band than you probably think they are) had one of my favorite songs of 2007, but I haven’t heard mu`ch else from her lately. So it was nice to see she had a solo album coming out, called Colonia, and released under the moniker A Camp.
It’s about what you’d expect. Some very pretty tunes, a little less pace than a typical Cardigans release, and a little more freedom to play around with the sounds. On the whole, I have to say that I think I prefer her work in the band over the solo stuff, but it’s hard to complain too much. There are certainly more than enough lovely songs here to make it worth picking up.
