Writing a new album that boldly walks the line between genres thanks in part to songwriter, Taylor Meier’s journey of self- and musical-rediscovery on an extended stay in Lower Manhattan, Millions shifts seamlessly from sunny garage rock to muscular Americana over four, swaying minutes. Caamp could never be quite the same band that took time out following the rush of success three years ago, yet the extended period of reflection that followed, finding joy in overlooked, often heavier sounds and reconnecting with the love and trust they have for each other has allowed for fresh diversity in their songwriting and recording to grow.
“I’ve experienced so many different versions of myself these past few years,” Meier says, reflecting on the conditions that let Millions take shape. “I’ve been focusing on healing and recovery while still processing a lot of grief and loss, and it made me take stock of my head and my heart and my friends and my family and figure out what really matters.”
Released on multiple formats, including vinyl, CD and digital, Copper Changes Color was written, performed and produced by the band over two years, with recording and co-production shared with Grammy-winning collaborators, Beatriz Artola (Fleet Foxes, Adele, Sharon Van Etten) and Tucker Martine (Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket, R.E.M.).
Having first emerged in 2016 with the release of their first, self-titled album, the band – made up of Meier and Westfall alongside Matt Vinson (bass), Joseph Kavalec (keys) and Nicholas Falk (drums) – Caamp quickly established their status amongst a new elite of bands pushing at the possibilities of US alt-folk and finding a global audience. Following up with a further three albums, Boys (2018), By & By (2019) and Lavender Days (2022), critical and audience acclaim for the band’s progressive songcraft has come hand-in-hand with their popularity as a live phenomenon. Furthermore, the band has amassed more than 2.5 billion streams worldwide to date.
