Hey, Lloyd! Camera Obscura In-Studio and Tour Dates

Indie loves from Glasgow, Camera Obscura, have been charting quite heavily on CMJ as of late, and what's more, Rachel E. and I are in the process of setting up an in-studio performance (or interview, in the least) with them here in the KTCU studio. Cross your fingers.

Quote from Carey, Camera Obscura's resident pianist/organist/vocalist, regarding their song "Hey Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken": "One of the most problematic songs to assemble for the album but we were eventually so enthralled we gave it six choruses. Obviously the mark of a fine single. And, yes, it does refer to Lloyd Cole, and thankfully, he likes it!"

Dee-lightful.
