I got to see Camera Obscura last night at Mr. Small's theatre in Millvale, Pa. Mr. Small's was the final stop on their tour in support of My Maudlin Career.
I experienced music nirvana three times: once, when they covered Bruce Springsteen's "Tougher than the Rest" (two of my favorite artists together at last); secondly, when they performed "Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken," with the celestial organ sounds reverberating in Mr. Small's (a church converted into an Indie Rock venue); thirdly, when I snagged the set list.
Here's the group playing "Lloyd" on a stop in Mexico City:
I caught an article in Spin magazine on the Love Language and then serendipitously heard them on the radio. Their song "Lalita" is just about the spring everyone needs in their step this season!
I'm totally digging the catchy, muffled electric riff and "Here Comes My Baby" (Cat Stevens version) vibe. I also dig that on their myspace page, they describe their music as: "Etta James kicking heroin."
