Camper Van Beethoven Profile
Perpetually eclectic '80s college legends Camper Van Beethoven are well into the third stage of their storied career and show no signs of abating. A companion piece to 2013's La Costa Perdida, the focus remains on their native California but shifts from the hippy north to the relatively gritty south, reflected in the music's edgier tone. Frontman David Lowery's wry, sardonic worldview elevates tunes like It Was Like That When We Got Here and Darken Your Door from good to great – still as endearingly strange as ever.
