Camera Obscura
My Maudlin Career
4AD, 2009
I've never heard a Glasgow band that I really liked a lot. A lot of good music comes from Glasgow, but I'm never really blown away. Camera Obscura is no different. This is a good album and I think as far as indie pop goes, it's better than most. I've always thought that Tracyanne Campbell sounds like Neko Case (or maybe it's the other way around). Either way, I like Neko Case way better. I've also always felt that this band has received more praise than they deserve. But that's beside the point. So, is this a good record? It's okay. Well I listen to it a lot? Probably not.
