Three years ago Camera Obscura released what was hailed as their breakout album Let’s Get Out Of This Country (Merge). The band is finally back with their follow-up and debut for 4AD debut, My Maudlin Career. As the title suggests their new album shares with the listener an affectionate wit and a melancholy tendency towards life’s daily routines and relationships. Yet, My Maudlin Career also boasts and expands on the affected pop elements explored on LGOOTC. No more apparent than on the lead single, “French Navy.” Dripping in layers of sheer pop melody yet never betraying the personal importance of its theme, it is a bittersweet tale of love lost. With songs like that it’s no wonder Camera Obscura is often mentioned in the same sentences as fellow Scots Belle & Sebastian, indie rock favorites The Lucksmiths, and music legends The Smiths.
