It's in Edinburgh.

The Camera Obscura, that is. Camera Obscura, on the other hand, are a fabulous outfit from right here in Scotland. After the joyous Underachievers Please Try Harder, they're going to be releasing a follow up, Let's Get Out of this Country, on the 5th of June in the UK and the day after in the states. It's a sumptuous affair, with some truly gorgeous vocals from Tracyanne Campbell, lush string arrangements as well as a countryesque twinge and a lovely Scottish lilt that comes across in the proceedings too. First single, 'Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken' came out on the 15th of this month, and it's well worth a download or waiting for it to pop through the post box. In fact, it's a real highlight; the whole album is just beautiful, but 'Lloyd...' is a stunning set piece. In addition to the title track, 'The False Contender' is also a terrific highpoint; if only for the awesome accordion playing...; but the whole record is worth finding.

I'd also recommend poking around on their website... you can even venture into bassist Gavin Dunbar's kitchen, if you like...!
