I'm warming to CAMERA OBSCURA. They have a timeless indie sound which
isn't faddy and they're not trying to make a quick buck or be fashionable. Also
they seem to be good at what they do cos despite my best attempts to say that I
don't like indie music anymore I find myself liking everything I hear by them
these days. Let's Get Out of This Country is another cracking tune, which makes
me wish I was much younger than I am and dance in an awkward unattractive way.
Something I do quite well without even having to think about. This peach of a
thing is on 7" and CD thanks to those nice Spanish people at Elefant
Records. I love Spain... it's ace. It's all warm and Spanish.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Second single taken from "Let's get out of this country", the record that confirms CAMERA OBSCURA as one of the most important bands of the moment. The sweetness in Tracyanne Campbell appeals to all kinds of crowds, and the Glasgow band have achieved on this third album a timeless sound of their own, which sounds classic and makes you dream with moments you haven't lived. What else can you ask from a good pop song?
"Let's get out of this country" is the title track on the third album, and is also the main song on this single. A sunny, classic pop song which, as the rest of the album, was recorded in Sweden under the production of Jari Haapalainen (producer of such gems as THE CONCRETES or Ed Harcourt). Along with this song, the CD-single features two new tracks: "Lemon juice and paper cuts", evocative mid-tempo, lead by piano and organ, and "Return to send her", with a country-style guitar that is the perfect counterpoint to Tracyanne's vocal melody.
