Description
They Sound The Same Underwater, originally named The Inevitable Heat Death of The Universe: And Other Short Stories, is the first album by Campfire Social.
Campfire Social are a constantly evolving 12 legged gang of friends that can mine the best bits of The Weakerthans, Los Campesinos! or The Get Up Kids from song to song. Or all at once. Depending on their mood.
Masters of the introspective, listen-to-while-looking-out-of-a-rain-streaked-train-window heartstring pulling anthem, their songs can flick a switch between 80s UK kitchen sink indie to 2000s Midwest Emo in a broken heartbeat.
At the end of 2019 the band set their sights on writing what was to be their first full length, only to have all plans thrown out the window by a worldwide pandemic that shall not be named. What they had begun to piece together would be eventually released as The Everything Changed EP.
All things considered this ended up being a blessing in disguise, as far as the band are concerned, as what came next was a collection of songs that they think shit all over previous tracks and having reunited with old friend and musical companion, Michael Deponeo, they believe Campfire Social is now what it was always meant to be.
Every Song on the album has its own place in our hearts and as a whole piece it feels almost autobiographical. I think we just stopped caring about what people would think and thought more about what we wanted to say and how we wanted to achieve that. There are ups and ups and downs throughout the album and although we touch on themes of loss or general despair there is a continued sense of hope that rings through til the end. above all its honest.
Cream vinyl.
