CREATORS OF INDIE ROCK GENRE CUT ALBUM TOGETHER IN ONE ROOM,
DEPICTING CHARACTERS AND STORIES FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Camper Van Beethoven – the beloved, genre-mashing musical
unit and one of the bands that created the indie rock genre – has confirmed its
first album in nine years with 'La Costa Perdida' (January 22 / 429 Records).
The release will mark CVB's first album recorded as a unit with the band
cutting songs organically with all in attendance and produced entirely by the
band's members. 'La Costa Perdida' vividly depicts untamed characters and
bizarre experiences on northern California's coastline, where the band began
its musical adventures.
Camper Van Beethoven is: Victor Krummenacher (bass, baritone
guitar), Greg Lisher (guitars), David Lowery (guitars and vocals), Chris
Pedersen (drums), Jonathan Segel (violin, guitar, mandolin, organ, backing
vocals) and new addition Michael Urbano (drums and percussion).
Camper Van Beethoven have long held a place as influential
pioneers of indie rock. Pitchfork Media called Camper Van Beethoven
"great… assiduous creativity… inventive… delightful." SPIN has
praised the band's "depth and worldly flavors," continuing, of its
recent run in the 21st century, "The band still rocks with the
vigor of any young sprite." NPR says, "Their cryptic wit and dense,
layered music offered rewards in repeated listening… blending genres of world
and rock, translating current events into a swirl of witty banter and
interpretation." Rolling Stone has raved about the band's
"adventurous music."
On the making of 'La Costa Perdida,' Victor Krummenacher
says, "The coolest part was that everything flowed from the fact that
these distinctive musicians and personalities sat in the living room. Four
people are writing it. The songs have great energy, but we're more relaxed and
stately and a lot more confident."
Tour dates will be announced shortly.
