Melbourne’s CAMP COPE are thrilled to finally reveal the full details of their highly anticipated sophomore album. Featuring the “searing” first single THE OPENER, their new album HOW TO SOCIALISE & MAKE FRIENDS will be released on Friday, March 2, 2018.

 
 

Recorded at Holes and Corners over two days in October, How To Socialise & Make Friends anchors on the cycles of life, loss and growth through resilience and those moments of finding and being yourself. The title track and ‘Animal and Real’ celebrate the joys of being an independent unit and knowing who you are without any influence from external factors. On ‘Anna’ and ‘Sagan-Indiana’ it speaks to the non-romantic love felt towards friends; the women who shape you and women working together to find strength in numbers. A raw account of sexual assault and the feelings of isolation that follow is painted on ‘The Face of God’. Album closer ‘I’ve Got You’ shows vocalist and guitarist Georgia Maq solo, singing of her late father’s battle with cancer and their close friendship that prevails, even in death.

Camp Cope will be previewing their album live for the first time when they take to the stage at The Forum in Melbourne this Sunday, December 3, with Cash Savage and the Last Drinks and RVG.
