Ahhhh... Camera Obscura. They've been around for a while, since 2001 to be exact. Their fourth album "My Maudlin Career" (due out next Tuesday, 4/21 on 4AD) is by far the one that is sticking the most with me. It's got their trademark sound but with a more uplifting vibe. A couple of the tracks feature layered strings and such which gives them a kind of '60's feel.
Tracyanne Campbel (guitar and vocals) writes most, if not all of the songs. They are mostly about love, love lost and all the things that go along with that. Her voice sounds a bit like an old fashioned Tracey Thorn.
The band tours most of the US beginning at the end of May.
For dates and stuff like that visit their MySpace page.
To order the album and stuff like that visit Insound (vinyl and CD).
Here is a link to two tracks "French Navy" & "My Maudlin Career".
ps- The album art is really beautiful too.
