August 1986
Camper Van Beethoven
Camper Van Beethoven
Genre: Alternative Folk
4 out of 5
Highlights:
Good Guys and Bad Guys
We Saw Jerry’s Daughter
Shut Us Down
Requisite 80s cover:
Pink Floyd’s “Interstellar Overdrive”, of which I am wholly unfamiliar.
It feels like the only way this band is going to get any pay is to have people figure out they need to come to them and not the other way around because I do NOT get the sense that CVB would ever compromise their idea of musical fun and lunacy for anyone but also that they aren’t going to go away.
There’s a goddamned song called “Lulu Land” and they get a point for that. Also for it’s calliope of lunacy.
It gets a bit hoe-downy here and there. It’s borderline “rock”, tbh.
CVB is their own thing and I love it.
Again.
