In a press release, lead singer Tracyanne Campbell describes the LP as "quite dark" and "brutal," which makes us think this might be Camera Obscura's doom-metal move. Alas, no. Based on the title track [..] these guys know what they're good at. "My Maudlin Career" is a clever bait-and-switch-- you think it's going to be all doom and gloom but then the hook hits with singer Tracyanne Campbell cooing, "My maudlin career has come to an end, I don't wanna be sad again." Something tells us she will be sad again, of course. The band sounds more like the Concretes than ever-- not a bad thing. Spector-esque flourishes, echoing backups, and a killer guitar solo coda all play a part in the, er, brutality. A fine harbinger.elliott,
