Camera Obscura - Let's Get Out of This Country
Posted July 5th, 2007 by aidanThe first thing that springs to mind is that this it Mazzy Starish but I don't know where I get that from. It's far too light and fluffy for Mazzy Star. I think it's probably because it sounds so pretty. There's a nice vintage air about the sound that makes it feel kinda 50s. Great use of Hammond Organ.
The title track just made me realise what this reminds me of - it's The Smiths. The Let's Get Out of This Country sentiment spills over into the following track. Wow, great lyric - "You can't see that I'm just the same, as all the stupid people who you hate."
They've gone for a really full noisy production - somewhat like Go Team!, though not as pronounced.
I think this one is going to become a favourite.
