 Camper Van Beethoven - Camper Van Beethoven is Dead, Long Live Camper Van Beethoven (Pitch-A-Tent)
The title of the album is quite appropriate, as it's the animated corpse of Camper Van Beethoven instead of the decaying carcass that most rarities collections are.
This album, released on Lowery's Pitch-A-Tent label (the same label that originally pressed the self-released Telephone Free Landslide Victory in 1985), was assembled by Lowery, bassist Victor Krummenacher, and original violinist Jonathan Segel in a digital studio last December.
I've always felt that Camper Van Beethoven was one of the most underappreciated bands of the 1980's.

Similarly, the album title is open to varied interpretation.
Lowery says that the album's story structure -- he calls it "something between a rock opera and a concept record" -- was key to keeping any commentary from seeming out of character for the group.
The instrumentation -- typical rock anchors augmented with violin, accordion and mandolin -- still pops with the energy and precision a joyous punk string band.

In that tradition, "New Roman Times" – the group's first album of new material since the breakup – is exactly what you'd expect from a Camper Van Beethoven album.
The band's final album, the elegiac "Key Lime Pie," was shot through with the friction-fueled gloom Lowery and Co. were feeling after five albums that practically invented alternative rock.
The Campers didn't just blend styles – they Osterized them, whirring up a groovy smoothie of ska, pop, psychedelia and pseudo-European folk that wound up sounding somehow punk.

At the time of their 1985 debut, Camper Van Beethoven's merging of punk, folk, ska, and world musics was truly a revelation.
In 2002, the band released a CD that had been recorded on a lark back in 1987: a song-for-song cover version of Fleetwood Mac's Tusk album.
The third album, confusingly titled Camper Van Beethoven, continued the thread, but outstanding tracks like "Joe Stalin's Cadillac" were in the more straight-ahead indie rock vein.

Sadly, recording a second album hot on the heels of a debut so often results in half-assed efforts.
Quite remarkably, half of the album are instrumentals, and while some of them (“9 of Disks,” “Payed Vacation: Greece”) are a bit repetitive, their brevity and uplifting nature makes sure that none of them could be labelled as misfires.
It already starts with the confusing title: it’s not a twofer, but a single album, divided into a “side 2” (the first 10 songs) and a “side B” (the last nine).

 Camper van Beethoven Biography
The quintet effortlessly combined an iconoclastic, irony-laced lyrical stance with a free-spirited eclecticism that encompassed a dizzying array of stylistic influences, from punk to folk to psychedelia to all manner of world music.
In the second half of the 1980s, Camper Van BeethovenóDavid Lowery (vocals, guitar), Victor Krummenacher (bass, vocals), Greg Lisher (guitar), Jonathan Segel (violin, guitar, keyboards) and Chris Pedersen (drums), plus late addition David Immergl¸ck (guitar and various stringed instruments)ówas one of its era's most original and influential indie rock bands.
Then by the time we did the third album, we sort of had a sound, so we started playing with our own sound.

It was Lowery who got the Camper Van Beethoven reunion rolling when he invited Segel to play violin on Cracker's recording of "White Riot" for the 1999 Clash tribute album.
If you saw Camper play at its recent Warfield show with Cracker (the two bands share members), you know that, unlike most reunited bands, Camper sounds better than it ever did in its first incarnation, despite for the most part not having played the band's songs for over 10 years.
When those lines debuted on Camper Van Beethoven's first record in 1985, there was no way anyone could know they would also serve as the band's epitaph.

 Camper Van Beethoven: New Roman Times - PopMatters Music Review
Camper Van Beethoven continues to have a lot to offer a music scene as diverse as the band's own output.
And, as always, Camper mixes heavy doses of psychedelic rock, punk, ska, country, power pop, and ethnic flavors into the blend that made the band distinctive throughout its career.
When I reviewed Camper's 2002 box set release, Cigarettes and Carrot Juice, I admitted to having missed most of the band's history as they snarled and laughed through the late '80s and early '90s, but since then I've come to really love those discs.

As Segel says, "It may be a concept record, but all the songs can actually be taken by themselves." In fact, the songs, individually and collectively, are the strongest that Camper Van Beethoven has recorded.
According to Segel, the crowds on Camper Van Beethoven's current tour reflect this gap in the historical record.
By the mid-'90s, their early work was mostly out of print, and for a new generation of listeners they were known as "Cracker lead singer David Lowery's old band" -- if they were known at all.

It's the most psychedelic, arguably one of the best pot-smoking albums ever recorded, and in that sense it is most like II and III, but s/t is more conceptually solid.

 Camper Van Beethoven: Camper Van Beethoven Is Dead, Long Live Camper Van Beethoven: Pitchfork Review
The idea, evidently, was to release an album of "leftovers" that didn't sound like one.
The album's real value, of course, is that it hints that Lowery, Krummenacher and Segel are still in touch with their snotty, inscrutable weird sides-- and with each other's snotty, inscrutable weird sides, too.
Sure, this is pretty much a cult-fodder release, and it's naturally much thinner than the band's proper albums-- especially their last two.

 Camper Van Beethoven - PopMatters Concert Review
The album saw CVB moving away from foreign folk music and finally dealing directly with their own cultural legacy and American folk styles; using original lyrics instead of irreverent covers were now used to explore the heartland of American society.
In the context of their reunion set tonight, the song is heard as part of the band's musical exploration of American culture in the twentieth century.
One weekend in the '80s when the band holed themselves up in a cabin to record demos for a new album, the idea came about to cover of Fleetwood Mac's Tusk double album in its entirety; a song-for-song cover of the pinnacle of bloated '70s rock excess.

Though the album title suggests the distinct possibility of a double album, every CD vendor listing the record at present shows only one disc, with only one track, of which the title is unknown (another parallel with the Rebore 1-3 discs).
However, despite recording the album digitally, technology's insurgent domination of the recording industry didn't keep the band from maintaining their feel-the-groove attitude.
According to guitarist Greg Lisher, the album is most similar to 1986's self-titled LP, and although Lowery doesn't completely agree, he does see where Lisher is coming from.

This five-disc box set features all the early CVB albums on compact disc.
David Lowery's pre-Cracker days were spent with this semi-punk, semi-ska, violin-driven combo and their debut stunner remains a staple, mainly because of the now-immortal "Take the Skinheads Bowling." But with gems such as "Opi Rides Again" and a wonderful cover of Black Flag's "Wasted," the album begs for numerous listens.

In the case of Tusk, the answer is both yes and no. Fleetwood Mac’s original album is truly awe-inspiring, and frankly, unbeatable, yet the results are of interest to fans of both groups (the original release has a strong cult following), as the need for comparison is obvious and guaranteed to provoke debate.
The very first day, the drummer broke his arm skiing, and it was then suggested that the group re-record Fleetwood Mac’s unexpected and offbeat pop opus, Tusk, one of a handful of albums in the cabin they were holed up in.
