Elegant,captivating, brilliant country/rock melodies.
After their last disc "Let's Get Out Of The Country" achieved breakthrough-of-sorts status thanks to an exceptional lead separate, "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken", the Glasgow indie band now finds itself on the legendary, undeveloped 4AD label.The renowned Swedish producer Jari Haapalainen - whose past credits - Peter Bjorn And John, The Concretes, Ed Harcourt - give one an thought of the richly textured soundscapes he can co-create - is back for his second outing with the band, structure on the dense production introduced on their third album, which is purely and simply about love.It starts in a resolutely non-overemotional mode. The upbeat Phil Spector-esque "French Navy", the opening track, is 60s pop with strings, and a vocal reproduce that lends itself so well to Tracyanne Campbell's voice, sending it ethereal. At times it reminds me of Canadian Jann Arden and American Natalie Tradesman of 10,00 Maniacs. The bittersweet song is typical of Campbell's oeuvre in that it's unspeakably...

Tongue-tied (except for what I'm about to say)
I'm a to some degree new Camera Obscura fan, discovering them only last year. I enjoyed Let's Get Out of This Country and I looked forward to whatever they put out next.Well here it is, and I'm completely blown to another place! I was nearly moved to tears at how beautiful these songs are. They're so melodic, lush, layered, and drenched in this amiable reverb that instantly evokes nostalgia. Its an effortless, comforting, and touching set of songs that flows unequivocally.Easily one of the best albums I've had the pleasure of listening to. I hope for these guys and gals to be heard and enjoyed by as many population as possible. After unleashing an album of this caliber, they deserve to be carried through the streets. This is their crowning accomplishment.That's how good it is, seriously. Buy this now and float away...

Mawkish Eloquence
An passionately anticipated album for those of us who have overdone it listening to Let's Get out of This Country. More uptempo than its predecessor, maybe a bit more of a Mountains flavor here and there. Eloquent, sometimes playful songs of heartache, loss and lonliness. A nostalgic and illusionary musical atmosphere brought about in part by classic use of reverb and a warm, retro organ cry out. Wonderful.

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

An passionately anticipated album for those of us who have overdone it listening to Let's Get out of This Country. More uptempo than its predecessor, maybe a bit more of a Mother country flavor here and there. Eloquent, sometimes playful songs of heartache, loss and lonliness.

Islam spreads across North Africa and into the Iberian peninsula. Centuries later (some say), law court musicians learn about Moorish verse and long explanation, and the so-called troubadour activity spread through Europe, unleashing the conception upon Western savoir faire.
