Afternoon Aural: Camera Obscura
A One-Way Ticket To...


Scotland may be one of our favorite places in the whole wide world. Sure, the food leaves a bit to be desired, but what they lack in culinary skills, they make up in musical wonders, such as Glasgow-based, Camera Obscura.

Considering their sentimental - yet never maudlin - blend of pop, folk and rock, it should come as no surprise that the six-member popsters have close-ties to Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch, who lent his expertise to their single, "Eighties Fan" from their 2006 debut, Biggest Bluest Ever.

In the seven (!) years since, Camera Obscura's quietly been building a notable yet completely underrated buzz. Most recently, they garnered favorable reviews for Let's Get Out of This Country. This here's the video for the titular single. You'll love it. If you don't love it...well, tough shit, we suppose.

Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi came out in 2001, not 2006. Let's Get Out Of This Country was released in 2006, =).

Also, it's been almost 10 years. I'm pretty sure the first 7" came out in 1998.

C'mon guys!
