Summer Camp are performing their soundtrack for Beyond Clueless in Manchester and Ilkley
Few bands are so overtly indebted to the past; Summer Camp are one, and their fondness for all things of yesteryear has gone as far as scoring a documentary about teen movies called Beyond Clueless.
By all accounts it's been pretty successful, being aired at SXSW and garnering praise from the likes of i-D, New York Magazine and Dazed.
In our 8/10 review of the OST, Kate Travers said that "the Summer Camp sound is a perfect match for a project which is, undeniably, a nostalgia-fest. That said, perhaps the teen movies of the 90s and 00s evoke a nostalgia for a ‘past’ which only ever existed on screen and was never a reality, even if you did attend a Beverly Hills high school in 1995. The soundtrack, however, does contain some distinctly real, palpably brilliant material from Summer Camp. In many ways, it feels like their most sophisticated work to date - and not the Cher Horowitz kind of sophisticated."
To celebrate the film's official release 23 January, director Charlie Lyne is doing some Q&As at select screenings nationwide, and Summer Camp will be live scoring a couple of showings.
They will perform at Manchester's Dancehouse 24 January, and at Ilkley Film Festival on 20 February.
Tickets for both, as well as more information about the film and screenings, can be found here.
