And check out that lamp and her shirt  Another nutty album cover from these guys. The song itself is not bad....not fantastic mind you but it's all right. I think breezy  is a good description. |

My one Camera Obscura song I couldn't live without would probably be Razzle Dazzle Rose

Camera Obscura - Shine Like A New Pin
RJD2 - Ghostwriter
Tori Amos - Spark
Shawn Colvin - Wichita Skyline
Wow. There are times when Radio Paradise gets it exactly right and plays a set of tunes that seems to somehow fill a musical void and makes the world seem like a better place.
Unfortunately, this set isn't one of them.
I'm about to slip into a coma if I don't hear something with a bass and drumbeat soon.

Good. I wasn't the only one. I totally thought it was Camper. |

I like the deceptive simplicity and the warm tone of the vocalist.

That happens to me every time. It is kind of a let down, but I still like this. |

This song seems to bring out a lot of comments about how this song sounds like another song. So if the shoe fits - to me her voice sounds like the lead singer's voice in The Innocence Mission.

I just played CVB over top of this song and it's even in the same key and same tempo! I hope they credited them...

Yep- bummer :-(
This isn't bad in a cutesy, non-threatening way...
Still was in the mood for Camper v.B. |
