Camp Claude

Camp, because they're nostalgic for the summer camps of their youth, and Claude, a gender-neutral name and the one that appears on Diane Sagnier's birth certificate, the band is first and foremost the lovechild of Sagnier's artistic research and of its creative fusion with the work of composers Mike Giffts and Léo Hellden, both members of Tristesse contemporaine.Born in Paris, the result of their union, which was a finalist in last year's Inrocks lab, transcends borders and genres. Between France and America for her, England and Sweden for them, their skillful mix of rhythms and vocal sensuality belongs as much to pop as it does to electro, free of all labels.
