Caamp have shared “Apple Tree Blues,” the newest song to be released off their forthcoming album Lavender Days (out June 24th via Mom + Pop). Taylor Meier, the band’s lead singer, describes the song as “one of those songs that just kind of tumbled out in one breath. Raspberry velvet hit my notebook and the song wrote itself. The band helped to decorate it so well, and I love how the ending fades like riding a bike over a hill. We hope you somersault to it.”
And you'll tell me what your hearts been through
tell me where you're going to
tell me all the things you’d like to do but you can't
Cause you're scared that you’re going to hell
Feels alright but you can't really tell
All of that cigarette ash is good and well
It's good and well
Lavender Days was produced by Caamp and Beatriz Artola (Fleet Foxes, Adele, Sharon Van Etten). Initial recording took place at Sylvan Esso’s studio just outside of Durham, NC beginning in February of 2021, where together Caamp workshopped the songs and began principal tracking, bringing in friends like Nathaniel Rateliff and Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield to contribute vocals. When it was time to finish the record, the boys headed home to Columbus, OH to wrap it up, with help from Artola, the way they always have, in their humble home studio - just them and their instruments, in their hometown. Lavender Days is available for pre-order here including an exclusive clear vinyl via the band’s website: www.caamptheband.com
