"Our America is a national anthem for a country in peril. It’s easy to find ourselves in a cycle of existential dread amidst near-constant news of gun violence, attacks on queer rights, police brutality, and climate crises fueled by corporate greed. Our America is a call to the listener to stand together against the hatred and fear that our nation is built upon. It’s a plea to maintain hope in community and each other, to remember that we keep each other safe. Most of all, Our America imagines our ability to build a nation that truly uplifts and protects all of its inhabitants. We are releasing the track on the last day of Pride month, in time to give folks a message of togetherness and hope on July 4." Members of Camp Bedford and their musical contributions are Roxanne Quilty (they/she) (vox, guitar) Mariela Flor Olivo (she/her) (vox, lead rhythmic guitar) and Tallen Gabriel (they/them) (cello). Produced and engineered by Julian Giaimo, mastered by Daniel Cardinal. |
