Brooklyn folk-rock trio Camp Bedford Ships in the Night Bedford — Roxanne Quilty (vocals/guitar), Kailey Prior (vocals/bass), and Rebekah Farr (drums/production) — have drawn comparisons to legendary folk supergroups like Trio (Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris) as well as modern indie trio boygenius (Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus), while carving out a sound entirely their own. The group is gearing up for their final release of 2026, Polaroids on your wall, a five-track EP due out December 11, 2026 via Thanks in Part.
Camp Bedford have shared their new single, “Ships in the Night,” an endearing, clever, and cathartic track ahead of the EP’s release. The single is out October 30.
Listen to “Ships in the Night” here.

“‘Ships in the Night’ was written after running into a former friend for the first time at a bar, and fantasizing about what it would be like to reconnect,” the trio explain. “Maintaining a relationship with someone who seems eternally ‘lost at sea’ can feel impossible, and this song is a final plea to bring them back to land and back to you. ‘Ships’ is upbeat and approachable; we want it to invite you in and make it feel possible to confront the demons that are holding you back.”
Their first self-produced EP, all five tracks on Polaroids on your wall were inspired by (and recorded where) the band spends their lives: in rehearsal spaces, at their home studio, and in cars and hotel rooms on the road. Every song explores actual experiences with the numb lows of early adulthood, the frustration of lost friendship and love gone wrong, and the fierce hope they hold for life after loss.
For this release, the band set out to capture the soaring energy of their live performances as clearly as the experiences that shape them. Camp Bedford’s drummer, Rebekah Farr, led arrangement and engineering from demo to final mix, with mastering provided by NYC’s Tony Pietrafesa and Argentina’s Brian Iele. Released as a series of singles beginning in February, Polaroids on your wall is as much a record of the band’s year as it is a love letter to the desires that connect us all.
“Ships in the Night” by Camp Bedford is out October 30. Polaroids on your wall EP is out December 11, 2026 via Thanks in Part. Camp Bedford play live on November 4 in Brooklyn, NY at Alphaville.
