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.

The stellar new album from Glasgow's spectacular pop sextet was influenced by a wide variety of heroes: Jimmy Webb, Lloyd Cole, Connie Francis, Skeeter Davis, The Supremes, and David Lynch. Decidedly upbeat and catchy while also beautifully romantic, quiet, and reflective, this record does not disappoint.

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.

'Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken' is the first single from Camera Obscura's forthcoming full-length, Let's Get Out Of This Country. A three and a half minute pop masterpiece with a healthy nod to 60's girl groups complete with Spectorian 'wall of sound' production. With two tracks previously unreleased in North America, this is a must-have for fans awaiting new music from their Glaswegian heroes since January 2004.
