This album proved no different during the writing and production process. For me, it’s all over the place, sometimes I’ll just keep a line or two or a melody for almost a year before I do anything with it,” says Westfall. “I can’t speak for Taylor, but I know he works really fast. That’s the way Caamp keeps at their own pace, using their own process, letting their lyrics come at them as they will. When we are all back, and at our homes, that’s when it all kind of just pops out.” We don’t really meet up and say, ‘Let’s write this song on this day.’ It normally just happens when we get home from a long tour. We’ve had the opportunity to travel so much around the country and the world this past year-meeting so many new people, new places, foods, experiences-and all of these new experiences, have been naturally inspiring to us. “Writing and recording come pretty naturally to us,” says Evan Westfall. ![]() Having had one of their biggest years yet, the guys certainly have a lot to look back on. ![]() The new album rings with an overall reflective tone and soothing nostalgia which becomes obvious on songs like “Huckleberry Love” and the title track “By and By,” where you can feel the trio endearingly looking back on times past. Experimental guitar and banjo playing quickly thrust you through a frenzy of wild turns, and lush harmonies and lyricism take you through lofty loops and dips until you come to a sudden drop with the adolescent love-themed track “Peach Fuzz”. Caamp puts on one hell of a live show, and their new album By and By is no different.īy and By, which just dropped last Friday on Momma and Papa records, is an emotional roller coaster. Sure, the show is bound to be somewhat blurred, but the band’s banjo plucking, guitar riffs, and raspy yet soothing vocals, poignantly remain and rattle around in your hungover brain. ![]() When you go to a Caamp show, you do exactly as their acronym name suggests.

According to the band, "The music video was directed, filmed and edited by Nate Murray at Local Motives, a non-profit that profiles naturalist organizations around the country including farmers, fisherman and conservationists." The music video works to farther cement the message of the song, showing various naturalists and environmentalists at work. The striking album art, a cross stitch hoop featuring the name of the song and two people fishing, was made in collaboration with Lavystitch, a talented cross stitch artist. The beginning of the song asks the listener about their sense of duty to the world, comparing our modern fight against climate change to the battles our forefathers fought, asking, "Will you fall, fall, fall for your furies? Would you die on the blade like your daddy did?" and then, "Would you stay on the line while your country dies?" The crux of the song is the simple but beautiful, with the conceit that the narrator just "want my kids to swim in the creek," something that will be made impossible if the climate crisis isn't solved.ĬAAMP's new single is a clear call to action, saying, "Yes now go now all who can hear us / Give what you can, oh but take what you need / Will this dark road soon become clearer / Are we bound to stay quiet and drift off into sleep / Dreams of money and greed / Such a dark destiny." The song goes on to offer hope, saying, "You'd be surprised what your own hands can make." Now, CAAMP is treading more political ground with their new single. ![]()
