The foundational tracks for Camino Sound’s new EP were originally recorded live in September 2025 for a broadcast on BlowupRadio.com, an online station devoted to original music by artists from the trio’s home state of New Jersey. As such, most of the five tracks on the self-released Remembers Everything were meant to encourage improvisation.
Not that this wildly offbeat instrumental unit—guitarist Van Kapeghian, bassist Keith Allen and drummer Sean Byrne—ever discouraged improv to begin with. Their fifth release is six years keeps the element of surprise intact as it blurs the lines between psychedelia, post-rock and ambient pop. In keeping with that expansive credo, the trio added some nifty segues, effects and atmospherics to the original live performances during the mixing process.
Here’s guitarist Van Kapeghian’s rundown of the tracks.
1) “Remember Anything”
“This is the most impromptu and improvised track on the release—literally a mic/line test that worked out well for us. It helps set the tone for what’s a looser and more open-ended set of songs compared to our usual, more structured fare. Somehow this song title and the release title were worked out to play off each other.”
2) “Trolley”
“The title came from the Beth Orton song ‘Shopping Trolley,’ When I came up with the original riff demo, I re-created the Keith Moon-esque beat (performed by Tim Barnes) from that song on a drum machine. Camino Sound then took things in a different direction in terms of pacing. More than any other track here, this one wouldn’t have been too out of place on our last release (2024’s Corridor).”
3) “King LDP”
“I love playing in drop C, and the groove Keith and Sean found gave this a Floyd-esque gravity. The day we recorded these tunes, it felt like everything landed nicely. Every chance felt rewarded by the cosmos of Sean’s living room that day. This song represents that so much.”
4) “Snowstorm”
“If the first section of this song feels like being inside, then the seventh chords set against the drone in the second part feels like suddenly walking outdoors—that shift of perspective. The outro solo section really felt like a perfect mind meld, with all three of us stirring the pot until it reached the appropriate simmer and then cooled off, ready for some more weirdness.”
5) “Nokomis3”
“We kept the voice-memo recording file name from Keith’s phone for the actual song title. (We often demo or record a working track on a phone for reference.) It was a bit of kismet. We are a trio and seem to be the same number of fishies on the album cover, too. (Shout out to photographer Chris Sikich for the image.) The intro’s dubbed-out ruckus on percussion and bass (which originated as a goof on the ‘Crazy Train’ intro) finally gives way to a two-chord meditation that slowly wanders off toward the horizon.”
