Hailing from Glasgow, 'Camera Obscura' have been creating memorable and unique melodies for more than a decade. Like BELLE AND SEBASTIAN and many others before them, they have a grasp on shattered hearts, literary lyricism and perfect embellishment that comes out as a lustrous display of indie pop's finest. Together they blend Motown, twee, maudlin sentimentality, orchestral indie and sixties girl group pop to build a sound that is wholly their own. Sonically lavish, on stage they present the most affecting pop performance you'll find this side of the sixties. To celebrate their 2010 Australian tour, 4AD have manufactured an exclusive version of 'My Maudlin Career' for Australia and Japan only. The album comes housed in a deluxe slipcase with 5 extra tracks, and is strictly limited to 1,000 copies.
