Album Notes & Community Reviews

Camper Van Beethoven's debut is a wildly eclectic, fiercely independent collision of punk rock ethos and global folk traditions. The band effortlessly weaves ska, Eastern European gypsy rhythms, and jangle pop around David Lowery's highly sarcastic, deadpan vocal delivery. 'Telephone Free Landslide Victory' is a quirky, deeply humorous, and fiercely original staple of 80s college rock.
