Camera Obscura, like most good Scottish bands and football (a.k.a. soccer) clubs, hail from Glasgow. This seven-piece outfit makes classic pop. Sure, comparisons to Belle & Sebastian and even Nick Drake may abound, but Camera Obscura add a soul to their pop that makes them unique. Merge Records has been releasing their original Elefant Records releases in the U.S..
Nice tunes. 🙂 Both links point to the same file, by the way.
Fixed. Thanks for the heads up. I realized it myself a little while ago while carving pumpkins…
I got the whole album (Underachievers please try harder) and I can only recommend it. Fabulous record!
I knew only some songs from this band… and yeah, they are really really great !
Better than Belle & Sebastian ?
maybe yes ..
Better than B&S? Surely it can't be so! But Camera Obscura is very close to the top of my list.
Try "Eighties Fan." One of their best.
