A Camp is the self-titled debut album by A Camp, the side project of Nina Persson, vocalist for the popular Swedish indie/pop band The Cardigans. The album garnered significant critical acclaim from music critics. It produced two singles, "I Can Buy You" (UK #46) and "Song for the Leftovers". The album reached #87 on the UK Album Chart.
All songs by Nina Persson and Niclas Frisk, unless otherwise stated.
"Rock 'n' Roll Ghost" produced by Niclas Frisk. "The Bluest Eyes in Texas" produced by Nathan Larson. All other songs produced by Mark Linkous
Allmusic's Tim DiGravina praised the album as "a charming return to basic songcraft and a collaboration that will hopefully bear more fruit in the future" in comparison with Nina Persson's previous work with the Cardigans. The Guardian's Dave Simpson enthused that "this may well be Persson's best album", and called it "a major work, whatever it sells". Yahoo's Josh Rogan had special praise for producer Mark Linkous, concluding that "Linkous has crafted an album that compliments Persson's songs and vision to great effect".
