Insound Staff Pick - 2009! Glasgow's Camera Obscura create lilting, sophisticated melodies that draw similarities to the work of Belle & Sebastian, The Clientele, and Trembling Blue Stars, but are also rooted in the more classic sounds of Nick Drake, Donovan, and Petula Clark. This is their first domestic release. Songs drift and linger like clouds in a summer sky, with gentle hooks and breezy vocals that stick in your head like a pleasant memory.

VINYL FORMAT. The recent announcement of new music from Camera Obscura was met with fervor from fans and their first single in over two years is just the tonic after their short absence. "In my head, I was writing it for Al Green to sing. I was trying to write something as good as 'Belle,'" Tracyanne Campbell says of "French Navy." "French Navy" is a brilliant pop single.
