Literate, recombinant indie-pop doesn't get much better than Scottish act Camera Obscura. And Let's Get Out of This Country, their third album, is easily their best yet. The male-female vocals of their first two albums are gone, as John Henderson's left the band. But as the album was recorded in Sweden with Jari Haapalainen, the dude who helped the Concretes achieve their Spector-ish, candy-coated sheen, the same charms are at work here. "Dory Previn" is a slow country rocker that recalls the pastoral sound of the sorely-missed band Opal, while other songs are more organ-driven and rollicking. Lead singer-songwriter Tracyanne Campbell's lyrics are smart, wonderful, and direct ("You can't see that you're the same as all the stupid people that you hate / I'm not saying I'm free from blame because I need all the friends I can get"). This is orchestral pop that's immaculately produced and fun as hell, even though the protagonists of the songs readily, almost selflessly dive into the sloppiest of romantic situations ("I've got my life of complication here to sort out"). --Mike McGonigal
Album Description
The stellar new album from Glasgow's spectacular pop sextet was influenced by a wide variety of heroes: Jimmy Webb, Lloyd Cole, Connie Francis, Skeeter Davis, The Supremes, and David Lynch. Decidedly upbeat and catchy while also beautifully romantic, quiet, and reflective, this record does not disappoint. The LP includes a coupon for a free MP3 download of "Let's Get Out Of This Country".
Customer Reviews:
Very beautiful album.......2007-04-21
I first heard this band on KEXP's live music podcast and I was blown away. I listened to it three times in a row, bought the album, and then listened to the live performance again. The sound is very interesting, it seems like it could have been recorded in the 60s. My brother says that it sounds like church music.
The lead singers voice has an irresistible cracking sound. I don't know any better way to put it. It's very very beautiful. And she has a Scottish accent that definitely comes out in the singing, and that makes everything even better.
While all of the songs are great, "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken", "Tears For Affairs", and "The False Contender" are my favorite. They make me smile and make me thankful that I live in a world with such beautiful music.
Ready to be heartbroken.......2007-04-06
Breaking up is painful and miserable, though sometimes necessary. And evidently that's what was on the mind of Camera Obscura as they created "Let's Get Out of This Country." These Scottish indiepoppers created a smooth, nostalgic, rippling little pop gem full of doleful emotion, and boy does it feel good.
The opening song "Lloyd I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken" is a deliciously catchy pop number full of soaring strings and rattly tambourine, which is a response to Lloyd Cole's "Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken?" Most of it, though, is just about a girl who has "a life of complication to sort out."
It's followed up by the folky, accordion-riddled little melody of "Tears For Affairs," an anguished little song played in a very peppy, upbeat manner. That is the basic template for the songs on this album: frolicking catchy indiepop, warm ballads, rippling organ rockers, bouncy alt-rock, and ambient, wintry pop filled with strings.
And every single one is about breaking up with someone, cheating on someone, or leaving someone behind.
Camera Obscura are always working to break out of Belle & Sebastian's shadow, since they're both quirky chamberpop bands from Scotland. But "Let's Get Out of This Country" shows that their music is of a totally different kind -- it's darker, less pensive and bookish, and more filled with raw emotion.
The music is overflowing with peppy instrumentation -- violin, trumpet, tambourine, some mandolin and subtle accordion laid over the basic bouncy guitars and drums. And of course, there's warm waves of organ adding a colourful edge, and helping to accentuate just how fun and pretty the music is.
Until you actually listen to the words: all of them are sad and anguished, except maybe the cryptic "Razzle Dazzle Rose, which seems a bit out of place here. All of it is in Tracyanne Campbell's pretty mellow voice. "Come back Margaret, he wants to adore you/Come back Margaret, I'd like to explore you/Can't you see the tears in my eyes/With love for him I disguise?"
"Let's Get Out of this Country" is the sprightliest album ever to be filled with woe and relationship misery, and Camera Obscura did a brilliant job linking the two sounds. Definitely worth hearing.
MELODIC PARADISE.......2007-03-30
If you love gorgeous pick me up melodies, this is it.
forget the lyrics... they're kinda schoolgirlish.. if you sit back and just dream away to the music... its quite a trip.
you do not buy this for the intellectual value... its the melody writing ability of this band thats worth your dollar.
It's The Bee's Knees..........2007-03-07
This little-known Scottish group has made a beautiful album of melancholy pop with "Let's Get Out Of This Country." It's one of the freshest and most exciting new discs I've heard in a while.
Lead singer/songwriter Tracyanne Campbell's vocal range may not be huge, but she sings with passion and a sort of languid power over dense, 60's inspired soundscapes with production heavily reminiscent of the famous Phil Spector "Wall Of Sound." That is to say, a lot of echo and reverb, not to mention unusual instrumentation and arrangements with a heavy early to mid-sixties feel.
Most of the numbers are mid-tempo, but I think Camera Obscura really shines on their faster numbers, such as the Cardigans-esque "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken" and "If Looks Could Kill," the latter of which is a very rousing mod throwback to 60's girl groups, Carnaby Street, Swinging London, Pet Clark, Sandie Shaw, Cilla Black, etc., with drumming that rivals Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life" for bombast.
And the slower numbers are beautiful as well. The group shows a lot of 'range' here, with the countryish sounds of "Dory Previn", the lounge-y "Tears For Affairs", and the epic, movie soundtrack sounding "Country Mile' (the title suits the track very well.) The closing track, "Razzle Dazzle Rose", is absolutely fantastic, especially the last minute or so, where the song morphs from a breezy bounce into a prolonged, amazingly slow, Spanish Bullfighter Brass section. At that point, I'm not sure *what* to call the music I'm hearing, but I like it...
A final note I wanted to add is that while historically singers from England and Scotland have tried to "Americanize" their accents somewhat (as in Joe Jackson, etc.), Campbell lets her Scots accent come through very well. Although the words are easily understandable, her vowels are a lot of fun! If you like strong melodies, unique arrangements, and that wistful Scots sound, you'll enjoy this one. ;oD
Great CO CD!!!!.......2007-01-11
Camera Obscura just blew my mind! Soft voices and melancholic melodies... So scottish!!! I loved every single song. Fully recomend it.

Give me another menthol cigarette!.......2007-03-29
I've been a JLH fan ever since my ears were opened in 1971, by a copy of
"Hooker 'N Heat". Man I have never been far from that crazy JLH beat
since. The beat of the metal presses of old Detroit, the musio running
before the storm, the expectation of something bad about to break, all
handled with an aplomb that would make our saints look radical. This
disc-"Never get out of these bluses Alive" the title saya it more
eloquent than it could have been said by anyone else, pure impact, it says
to me, "yeah things are mighty askew, and we may not be able to do much
about it, so let's put on "Never get out of these blues alive" and go
about our daily lives, the old "move along, nothing to see" I write to
the beat of John Lee Hooker, and as an added bonus feature, the 7th. and
last cut of the disc has two old Paul Butterfield Blues Band alums
playing with the Hook, Elvin Bishop, and Mark Nafalin, there is John Kahn
from Garcia & Saunders roving band of musician's playing base on cut #6.
But thats what I always loved about JLH, his ability to gather musicians
around him, and school them that needs it in the ways of them motor city
blues.
Quality John Lee Record.......2006-10-06
This is a great blues album and one of John Lee's better studio albums. Van Man shows on up the title cut, which is great. TB Sheets is one of the saddest songs very recorded. The rest of the album is pretty jumpy boogie style blues. As John Lee says this is a party album...If you can find it, Buy it.
sounds really cool.......2002-08-24
Yes! This is a forgotten gem. Very nice stuff indeed. Whoever wrote TB-sheets (Van Morrison I still believe), this is a crying time song, thrilling. Also the duet with Van The Man Morrison is breathtakin'. And what about Charlie Musselwhite, just great. It's an old record, and you can tell, but it sounds like a real classic and as fresh as ever. Get it!
Absolutely one of the best examples of good heavy blues.......1999-10-15
This is a very powerful type of blues, with heavy bass lines and of course, John Lee's throaty voice. Very laid back, not so much down in the dumps, but kind of grinning to yourself about your own situation... what I like to call "ballsy blues." Van Morrison and Elvin Bishop both appear on this one- and Mr. Van makes a great duet voice with Mr. Hooker... definitely my personal favorite blues album...

While Hank Williams graced country music's stage for only a few years, his legacy included a huge list of new standards and a new definition of success.

Great music with a sense of humor.......2004-11-17
Nashville Swinger is one of the best underground country albums I have discovered to date. This isn't sappy whiny country and it isn't something you'll hear on the typical pop-country radio stations. The Saddle Tramps music is well written and recorded. It has a bit of a honky-tonk sound. The best part about their music is their song subjects. As the song names will tell you, these guys have a sense of humor and aren't too shy to sing about things like transvestites, female problems, lowriders, etc. So if you have a sense of humor and like country sounds, buy this CD today.
