Following <a href="spotify:artist:1tqZaCwM57UFKjWoYwMLrw">the Cardigans</a>' international breakthrough in 1997, vocalist <a href="spotify:artist:4nHhXbMpzESguKp9QHap0c">Nina Persson</a> launched an experimental side project with the help of Atomic Swing's <a href="spotify:artist:2rwG1otftfiU4QEOffXfSy">Niclas Frisk</a>. The duo named itself A Camp and quickly recorded a series of songs, but the project was temporarily shelved when <a href="spotify:artist:4nHhXbMpzESguKp9QHap0c">Persson</a> returned to the road in support of <a href="spotify:artist:1tqZaCwM57UFKjWoYwMLrw">the Cardigans</a>' fourth album, Gran Turismo. By 2000, <a href="spotify:artist:4nHhXbMpzESguKp9QHap0c">Persson</a> had moved to New York City with her future husband, <a href="spotify:artist:3PP5Hnii2zI9Ufm7jFkers">Shudder to Think</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:1Iu1TxDKUo4cvo85jnWaRH">Nathan Larson</a>. Nevertheless, A Camp resumed schedule, with Larson joining the lineup and <a href="spotify:artist:64tVHZVSAZhDEiOJxnb6hE">Sparklehorse</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:47xdUoxG2YSzhYM0KxD36A">Mark Linkous</a> climbing aboard as producer.
That Fall, A Camp decamped to upstate New York to record their self-titled debut album. Having previously played guitar with <a href="spotify:artist:3PP5Hnii2zI9Ufm7jFkers">Shudder to Think</a>, Larson opted to handle the bass instead, leaving regular guitar duties to <a href="spotify:artist:2rwG1otftfiU4QEOffXfSy">Frisk</a>. The trio's quirky, sweet sound proved to be quite popular in Sweden, where the album won four Swedish Grammys. A Camp then took another extended break, this time waiting upwards of five years before reconvening in 2007 to record a second album. Inspired by David Bowie and 1960s girl groups, Colonia was finished within a year and slated for release in early 2009. ~ Andrew Leahey & MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi
