WHO: Camera Obscura
WHEN: formed in 1996 by members Tracyanne Campbell, John Henderson, and Gavin Dunbar.
The band has released 3 albums and is currently touring extensively.
WHAT: Scottish Indie-Pop marvels best known for their critically acclaimed third album release 2006 Let's Get Out of this Country.
Album Pick: Let's Get Out of This Country
WHY:
This is indie-pop at some of it's most clever, surprising, and (can I say?) delightful. Uber-melodic, good for sing-alongs, dance-alongs, and the album single "Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken," called by reviewers "four minutes of fancifully brisk pop" creates the desire to be swung around "carousel swing-style" with your head flung back and your arms in the air- a favorite game of any under 12-er (age limit based on physics rather than desire).
WHICH:
Let's Get Out of This Country
Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken
