SmashMouth Star Releases Solo Debut - A Top Story This Week

09/09/2008
. SmashMouth Star Releases Solo Debut was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (PR) Greg Camp, guitarist and Grammy nominated songwriter has stepped out of the SmashMouth fold after 10 years. Having penned most of the pop outfit's multiplatinum hits, Camp has decided to take this step in an effort to further explore the hidden corners of his overactive pop muse.

The result to date is Defektor, a silky, 14-song masterpiece, and Camp's first full length solo effort. The album will be released on September 9th on Bar/None, the undeniable outpost of embraceable and offbeat sonic confections.

Defektor boasts songs about sticky-fingered hotel maids, unpredictable ex-lovers, the end of the world and strung-out super models and plays like a guided tour through Camp's diverse musical imagination. The album was written, recorded and mixed in Camp's new recording studio Seavolt Sound, where left to his own devices, he ditched all ballast and chased countless ideas down rabbit holes. He emerged from the studio with a healthy handful of shiny new songs, spanning influences from 60's pop, surf, garage, spaghetti western soundtracks, rock 'n roll, new wave, and funk. - more on this story
