C.a.m.p.o.s.
The 8th Door (col)
Further adventures in psychedelic disco cumbia from one-man-band C.A.M.P.O.S. on the much-awaited second studio album. As with all C.A.M.P.O.S. releases, 'The Eighth Door' takes on a cosmic trip to a multi-dimensional landscape of the mind. Bound together by the intimate circuitry of Joshua Camp's creativity and songwriting skills, all elements gel in a gravity-defying way. Exotic-sounding electronic keyboards, jangly, fuzzy guitars and percolating percussion loops seamlessly carry the listener through two sides of galaxy-spanning mini epics, sometimes with vocals, sometimes instrumental, and often infused with the shuffling beat of Colombia's cumbia rhythm with a few disco, rock or salsa accents thrown in for good measure. Limited coloured vinyl.
