My Maudlin Career

Insound Staff Pick - 2009! As the title suggests, Camera Obscura's new album shares with the listener an affectionate wit and a melancholy tendency towards life's daily routines and relationships. Yet it also boasts and expands on the affected pop elements explored on their breakout album, Let's Get Out Of This Country. It's no wonder Camera Obscura are often mentioned in the same sentences as fellow Scots Belle and Sebastian, indie rock faves The Lucksmiths, and music legends The Smiths.
