Description

Sophomore album from Melbourne s Camp Cope. Georgia McDonald s soft-yet-powerful voice is certainly the initial draw for the 9-tracker, but the chemistry between Maq, drummer Sarah Thompson and bassist Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich is what keeps How to Socialise & Make Friends together. So real and in fine tune w what s happening in the world, Mcdonald writes informed, poignant songs that deal with everything from gender relationships to the aftermath of a sexual assault. The musical framework is efficient and fitting, with straight-foward guitar chords, dynamic bass work, and simple, expressive rhythms supporting the vocals. Highlights include The Opener, UFO Lighter, and the title track.
