Of the many synth-y, retro-tinged acts that have come into favor over the last couple years, Summer Camp remains one of my favorites. The melodies are all there, but the tunes also have that certain special ‘other’ that take them beyond fluff-pop, creating pictures and stories and a world all their own.  The video for “Down” manages to do the same, pointing to 80s-retro with certain signifiers, but not being slavishly devoted to re-creating an era, it has the freedom to take its own interesting turns. The use of “more than 50 infinitely looping” GIF images is a cool effect, the characters in this world trapped in their repetitions.
