A Camp is the solo side project of Nina Persson, vocalist for the popular Swedish indie/pop band The Cardigans, who worked alongside Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse, who also produced it.

A Camp was formed during The Cardigans’ break after several years of touring and recording albums, the last of which was, at the time, Gran Turismo. While Gran Turismo may have been darker musically, A Camp reflects Persson’s gifts for clever juxtaposition of somber lyrics with more upbeat music. This time, however, Persson opted for a country music style more akin to the recent popularity of alt-country in the US.

Look for videos of her performing "The Crowning" on YouTube. Really, theatrical.

I like the sweet poetic lyrics on Colonia. Love is stronger than Jesus and can kill you like a shotgun? That's deep enough for me to swim in it. I'd agree with daniel625 - It does seem to hover greatly over other non-hip-hop albums i have listened this year.

I really like Nina she has the best singing voice of all time. Such an amazing voice, plus she has a genuine look in her eyes. I had a dream about her last night ;-)
