If this is the first time you’ve heard Camera Obscura, and are a fan of Belle & Sebastian, you’ll notice similarities between the two groups right away. Both focus on super catchy, sweet, melodic pop music. If you didn’t listen to the words of either group, you might be quick to judge and even think to yourself while their records are playing: how cute is that? Like Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura have built quite a following and it’s safe to say that their fourth album; ‘My Maudlin Career’ will further solidify their place in the Indie-Pop pantheon. I just recently threw this album into my daily rotation, but noticed some standouts on this album the first time through. A few cuts I like: ‘Honey in the Sun’, ‘French Navy’, ‘Swans’. Here’s the video for ‘French Navy’. Catch it before YouTube brings it down.
