Camlann was firstly recognized and created a buzz in the darker music scene after the release of their debut album, "The Forgotten Lost Fragments", that was released back in July 20th, 2020 by Cold Transmission Music. Not long after that, the trio started to expand their sound more by experimenting several elements from various different genres. And not long after that, "Circa 1983", was born.
"Circa 1983", is Camlann's second album that features 10 heart-pounding tracks combining pain and melancholia with fun and nostalgia. With strong elements of early 80's Dark Disco and Synth-Pop that are wrapped in a modern Darkwave twist, "Circa 1983", is ready to bring you to Camlann's own interpretation of the early 1980's. "Circa 1983", takes influences from the early 80s, where the dark and classy electronic music took place: Depeche Mode and Soft Cell, for example. You can clearly listen to those bands as you go on and on over, “Circa 1983”. Most of the songs in this album such as, "1983", "Obsession? Depression?", “Possessive and Possessed”, and “Dear My Younger Self” makes you feel like this: back in the 80s, feeling sad and emotional with this particular sound just like Depeche Mode and Soft Cell.
They also take influences from Classic Disco and New Wave/Synthpop acts from the early 80's. In songs like “I’m Nobody”, “Metropolitan Boy”, "Dancing with my Pain", and "Hatred", you can hear some brighter influences and sounds that reminds you of New Order, Alphaphile, or even Donna Summer.
Although, "Circa 1983", is dominated by dark disco and dark synth-pop sounds, Camlann gave us a surprise in the middle of the album with, "Give Me Light", which is quite different from the majority of the songs on this album. This is the darkest song on this album, maybe even the darkest song Camlann has ever made. It has thick modern Darkwave and Dark Post-Punk elements to it, and the theme of dark catholicism in this song also adds to the gloom of the song.
"Circa 1983", is a perfect explanation of Camlann which is bleeky, melancholic, and nostalgic but also fun, modern, and full of hope. This album is definitely just the beginning of Camlann, but it definitely gives you excitement of what Camlann will bring in the future.
"Circa 1983", is Camlann's statement to the world that they are here to bring you their own version of modern nostalgia.

Superb dark electronica. These two artists are growing better with each new release. When it is possible to tour please come to America. Damn this is great stuff. Keep it coming, please. the Sanguine Penguin
i am in love with this album.
i want to kiss it, hold it and care for it for the rest of my life and i don't even care if it loves me back or not!
Every track is a masterpiece, but if i had to choose a favourite then Empty Shell just might be it. RootsReggae
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
In the sweet spot of '80s college radio/goth nostalgia, this LA group has big pop hooks, chiming guitars and a wry, dark sense of humor. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 10, 2016
