Description
Ideal for a Saturday tidy with the windows open: bright, wry, and a bit skew-whiff. Camper Van Beethoven’s Telephone Free Landslide Victory is the 1985 debut that stitched ska bounce to college-rock twang. Take the Skinheads Bowling still charms with its offhand hook and David Lowery’s shrugging delivery. Where the Hell Is Bill? snaps along, while Border Ska lets Jonathan Segel’s violin and the rhythm section side-step each other without tripping.
This green vinyl pressing gives the music more space, and the low end sits deeper. File it near Violent Femmes, only with more offbeat violin lines and sly ska undercurrents. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Camper Van Beethoven records online with us.
Spun at a small gathering, it loosens shoulders without demanding attention; solo play reveals how the guitar jangle tucks neatly under the fiddle. A staple in Melbourne sharehouses for a reason, it’s a snapshot of mid-80s indie when humor, hooks, and odd angles coexisted happily. Fans revisiting the album will appreciate how the arrangements breathe, while newcomers get a crisp introduction to the band’s playfully skewed universe.
