The Band CAMINO

If there’s a certain equation to a perfect pop-rock song—gang vocals, palm-muted power chords, a charming turn of phrase, an ascending chorus, a tight drum fill—then call The Band CAMINO mathematicians. Since 2015, the Nashville band have endeared themselves to fans with a series of blithesome EPs—2016’s <i>My Thoughts on You</i>, 2017’s <i>Heaven</i>, 2019’s <i>tryhard</i>—leading to this moment, <i>The Band CAMINO</i>, their debut self-titled full-length album. And there’s a lot here: the electro-pop cowbell of the crushable “I Think I Like You”, the stadium-sized guitar solo of “Know It All”, the happy handclaps of “1 Last Cigarette”, the heartfelt spacey synth ballad “Who Do You Think You Are?”. (If that isn’t enough of a tearjerker, “Sorry Mom” does the trick.) Across 14 tracks, The Band CAMINO prove that they are a band in the business of big feelings—and it feels good.
