Camp Trash - Two Hundred Thousand Dollars - Purple [Colored Vinyl]

Camp Trash is the product of two friendships: 1. Friendship America, the short-lived Sarasota band started by brothers Keegan and Levi Bradford and Bryan Gorman, and 2. The decades-long friendship and songwriting collaboration between Keegan and Bryan. After Keegan left Florida, he and Bryan kept in touch by working on music, emailing song demos back and forth. Despite living in separate states, the three friends decided it was time to start a new project with the songs that had been brewing. They formed Camp Trash with no plan of how to record or tour, just a handful of songs and the joy of making things with your friends. Camp Trash signed with Count Your Lucky Stars Records in 2020, released their debut EP Downtiming in 2021, and their first LP The Long Way, The Slow Way in 2022. Their new album, Two Hundred Thousand Dollars, was recorded, produced, and mixed by James Palko, mastered by Zach Weeks at God City Studios, and features new addition Kyle Meggison (formerly of Worst Party Ever) on drums. The band's second LP is the product of years of obsession with Fountains of Wayne and Guided by Voices and the desire to write songs that were short, loud, and catchy. The songs are loosely connected character sketches that follow hapless con men, gamblers, cult members, and low level mobsters who dream of something bigger and come up with foolproof plots to get there, but find the journey to be more complicated than they ever imagined.
