Bummer Camp shares “So Last Year”; the final single in anticipation of their debut EP release on August 26th.
“So Last Year” completes a quartet of singles that Eli Frank has been releasing since fall 2021 under their Bummer Camp moniker. Entirely written, recorded and produced by Frank, these songs embrace looping technology to push solo creativity to its vibe-exploring maximum.
In signature Bummer Camp style, this sadness is juxtaposed against an uplifting arrangement that floats an assured vocal on a bed of flickering drums and crunchy guitars. Frank explains:
It’s a song about people leaving your life and how sometimes it’s for the better. You can’t fully unlock your full potential when there are people in your life trying to hold you back, or who won’t reciprocate the friendship you try to give them You need to surround yourself with folks that will support and encourage you to pursue your goals.
“So Last Year” is accompanied by the second Bummer Camp video collaboration with fellow New Yorker Preston Spurlock.
