plenty of THE bands, pop karaoke, headset wearing, soft folk singers, dubious rock n roll credentials, dub hubba bub -

There is ONLY ONE Badgertrap, so welcome

welcome.. to Badgertrap country. 

A sense of a hole. A whirlpool effect. An abyss and being in a world of lollypop men, rabies, euthanasia, mysterious sheds, alcoholics, confused love and hallucinations.

Unafraid to involve the deep dark unconscious. Falling on a symbolic spiritual vacuum. Determined to repair the ruptures of our relationships - personal and societal. With no clue how to do it.

Hope Springs Eternal...

If this album is about corona virus it is inadvertent. It holds dark fears about the deepest relationships. At times close to overwhelming. The lyrics are sometimes coded messages like these are never unique to one human. Camplin really believes in collective unconscious - music is a deep way to reach people.

The album is largely acoustic or spanish guitar with splashes of skiffle style drums.The piano touches add a lot of flavour and the ambient electronic ebbs and flows is a newer feature giving this album some complexity.

-The opener 'Dive In' is a cry for help in a tongue in cheek way.

It is about being lost and asking for help and sexual salvation.

-Rabies in the 80s'is full of paranoia and a twisted and peverse sentiment for 80s culture when rabies was a thing to be worried about.

'-Nothing Will Save You Now' is the psychological warfare of a relationship gone sour. Mountain Goats-esque without the explicit humour.

'-Lolly Pop Man' is about the muddling of everyday frustrations such as driving in the city and the age-old joke about the chicken crossing the road and its philosophical implications.
