HD Camera Obscura

Ovo je bend iz Škotske  koji postoji dosta dugo (od 1996) ali imaju toliko malo objavljenih albuma da ih uvek možemo smatrati nedovoljno poznatim. Samo četiri kolekcije pesama za gotovo 16 godina postojanja  je možda doprinelo statusu kultnog benda ali je svakako uticalo i na to da ostanu relativno nepoznati van granica svoje zemlje.
 I kao što ćete čuti, njihov početni zvuk je najviše ličio na Belle and Sebastian (oni koji ne znaju za ovaj bend neka požure na youtube i čuju par njihovih hitova) što nije ni čudo ako znamo da je debi album "Biggest Bluest Hi Fi"  upravo i producirao Stuart Murdoch lider Belle & Sebastian.
Slušamo prvi singl sa tog albuma.

Camera Obscura: Eighties Fan 

You know it really wont surprise me
If you're a wreck by the age of fourteen
The way you look
The way you look is fine

So often colour coordinated
your sister she's an Eighties fan
But that's alright
Have I told you so is mine

You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honey dew?
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do

Drinking vodka on the fly
Your mother has a watchful eye
So look out kid
She's onto you this time

Run away to a bed and breakfast
Console yourself with the Reader's Digest
Ringing the Yellow Pages all alone

You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honey dew?
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do
No they never do

I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else

I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
About no one else
