For some reason or another, I missed downloading the latest Merge Records Podcast which features the loveable Scottish band Camera Obscura who became more well known after their beautiful second release Underachievers Please Try Harder came out in the U.S. on Merge (previously released on Elefant).
They have a new album coming out in June of this year called “Let’s Get Out Of This Country” and on the podcast they include a couple mini-snippets of the songs from the new album. Here are the tracks featured, along with what the band members said about the songs in the podcast: If Looks Could Kill (retarded Motown), Country Mile (quietest, most spacious, least buzzy, prettiest song on the record), Let’s Get Out Of This Country, and Lloyd I’m Ready To Be Heartbroken.
