Album Review: Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career

Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career


01. French Navy
02. The Sweetest Thing
03. You Told A Lie
04. Away With Murder
05. Swans
06. James
07. Careless Love
08. My Maudlin Career
09. Forests And Sands
10. Other Towns And Cities
11. Honey In The Sun





Standout Tracks: French Navy / Honey In The Sun / The Sweetest Thing


I really enjoy Tracyanne Campbell's voice and the majority of this record, however, there are a few dull tunes. My Maudlin Career is out today via 4AD.


* Album reviews are composed only after a few listens. Yes, opinions may change over time, but most first impressions (un)fortunately seem to hold true. I wish I was creative enough to write a proper review, but I've failed miserably in the past. Here's the next best thing, I hope.

Cold War Kids at Schubas (04.16.09)

Man, I've been slacking at attending shows lately, mostly due to being poor, but I sure am glad that I was able to check out the sold out Cold War Kids show at Schubas tonight. They also mentioned that this was the smallest venue they've played at in quite some time, which is a plus in my opinion. I was definitely pumped with the opening song. Not gonna lie, but I was actually hoping they'd open with it too. Sorry no pictures, I've been slacking with that as well. Another Chicago show will be had tomorrow night, April 17, at the Aragon Ballroom with Death Cab For Cutie and Ra Ra Riot. The latest release, Loyalty To Loyalty, is out via Downtown.
