It seems that Tracyanne Campbell is everyone on the Internet’s “secret” crush. Who knew that cute vulnerability, communicated through melodic pop, could do it for so many people? Listening to any of Camera Obscura, new album included, it’s actually really easy to see why. She’s got this kind of lovable confusion that everyone in their 20s can relate to, and she expresses it in shades of sweet harmony that make any eager consumer of characteristic UK chamber pop flutter with excitement.
Let’s Get Out of This Country is Camera Obscura‘s third album, the previous two both reaching the US in a double-wallop in 2004 after respective original release dates of 2002 and 2003 back in the UK. I guess all the rave reviews those two albums garnered in the US made an impact, because now we get to hear the new stuff just a day after it’s released back home.
