Camera Obscura

[CharlieFairhead]

I couldn't find a decent thread for them, anyway all i wanted to say is that they've signed to the great 4AD label. I'm quite sure many of you will have an album by a band/artist who are/were on 4AD.
I reckon the new Camera Obscura album will do really well now, they certainly deserve a decent selling album.
I've got all their old b-sides if you have any requests:

they are such a lovely band.they seem to get better and better with everything they do.

Oh and here's one of my favourite b-sides from the 'If Looks Could Kill' single, bit like a Lee & Nancy number..but darker.
'Hands Up Baby'

Nearly all the b-sides from the last album's sessions were worthy of an album place themselves...very Smiths like in that respect. Nice to see a band still appreciate and respect the single format..a dying art.
This is a lovely little ditty.

I have to appreciate that they have these singles/eps available in digital format (11 of them! Are there more?). My vinyl buying days are so far and few in between.

I can't wait to hear the Peel sessions. Thanks for the links everyone.

Each of the singles from the last album had a cover version exclusive to the 7" and not on the CD...similar to what Morrissey does.
Covers were:
Abba's - Super Trooper
Sheena Easton's - Modern Girl
Skeeter Davis's - I Can't Stay Mad At You

Here's the Abba cover on boob tube:

Thanks for the uploads, Charlie.

Any chance of upping the b-sides from the Lloyd-single as well?

I reckon the new Camera Obscura album will do really well now, they certainly deserve a decent selling album.

I would have thought there last one must have sold pretty well, too, with the first 2 singles being so successful.
