Thursday November 14 * 7pm * $10-20 * TICKETSFor Camp Saint Helene, the concept of otherworldliness is neither strange nor complex, but alluring and holy. Created by Elizabeth Celeste Ibarra, Dylan Nowik, Wesley Harper and Alex Wernquest, they approach their craft akin to a ritual, leaning into the notion that art and expression are sacred experiences on an overstimulated planet. Often informed by the spirit of a defunct Christian-summer camp turned arts-colony deep within the mountains of New York, their music searches for shimmers of hope amidst hints of doom.
“Camp Saint Helene's Mother is spellbinding - a word that seems particularly appropriate considering the album teems with a distinctly mystical, magick-with-a-k energy. Elizabeth Ibarra's stunning vocals sound almost ritualistic at time, developing from soft and prayer-like at moments to a powerful chant - and even a cathartic full-throated shout on tracks like "Milk and Honey." The instrumentation is similarly diverse and hypnotic, with moments of church organ and sitar reinforcing the religious-fever-dream vibe of the record, and heavy bass throughout keeping the whole thing grounded and cohesive. It's a beautifully thought out and skillfully produced album.” - MK, Radio Woodstock
Sloot - Rohit Rao, Charlotte Hodgson, and Maya Renfro
