UK indie-pop duo Summer Camp serve equal parts angst and charm in their original score to director Charlie Lyne’s new documentary Beyond Clueless. The film explores the essence of the “teen movie,” a heady journey through a number of modern classics that define the genre. Narrated by Fairuza Balk of The Craft fame, Beyond Clueless premiered at SXSW in March. Summer Camp live-score most of the film’s showings, as they will at the upcoming Latitude Festival in Suffolk, UK next month.
With their breezy millennial sound, Summer Camp perfectly reflect the whirlwind odyssey that is adolescence. Beyond Clueless’ title track, with its ephemeral sentimentality, would fit comfortably on either of Summer Camp’s previous albums, 2011?s Welcome to Condale and 2013?s Summer Camp.
