Tracyanne Campbell confronts heartbreak like a grown-up on Camera Obscura’s fourth outing. Their swirling melodies conceal lyrics that suggest a weariness bordering on a litost not seen before. “James” and “My Maudlin Career” disarm with sad grandeur; “The Sweetest Thing” and “Honey in the Sun” soar with their best.
Reminds us of: Belle and Sebastian | The Owls | El Perro Del Mar
