'New Year's Resolution', taken from Camera Obscura's 4AD Session.
The five-track session was filmed in the band's hometown of Glasgow, at the Tron Theatre, whose 16th century clock tower is one of the city's most recognisable landmarks.
Directed by seasoned 4AD Session collaborators Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, the pair knew exactly how best to present cuts from the act's most recent album, 'Desire Lines', released earlier this year -
"The idea behind the session was pure and simple - Camera Obscura are a perfect band, they record their songs all playing live together and there's a beautiful, unblemished chemistry in that unity."
Shot as the band were about to head off on a US tour, Tracyanne was heavily pregnant at the time, with her bump growing over the shoot as the baby re-positioned. For the session Iain and Jane made a large backdrop of the silvery tree-scape from the album cover and then set the band in front.

this song is eternal Camera Obscura deserve more recognition

[@rookietrucker5114]

My heart hurts

[@pqleite]

for sure.

[@sunnygovan7]

Camera Obscura have mastered the art of melancolia in this song. To be swallowed in melancholy is to immerse in conscious, intentional unhappiness, the sort that, perversely, makes one happier.

[@richardsalazar121]

“ the sound of loneliness makes me happier”

[@politicaltheory]

I can only imagine the pain this band was going through around this time. The scars of chemo in this video are evident on Carey. Still they hold up very well, and Carey still look resilient and courageous. Forever to be missed.

[@sashaconrad3939]

One of my very favorite songs ever. Tracyanne and the band are wonderful. RIP Carey Lander, I will always miss you. 💔

Yes. A rare occurance

[@square1971]

i'll go out on a limb and say they are one of the best bands since 2000. Consistent, good songs/vocals, great live, fine musicians. The whole package.

[@ErickG]

This band is like chicken soup for my soul

[@Ilikeitlikethis]

You absolutely got it in one with this comment. I had given up on contemp music until this band.

[@square1971]

@@Ilikeitlikethis Another is Beach House, 7 albums since 2008, again consistent quality product. Don't get me wrong, plenty of great music, but these 2 stand above in terms of consistent output.

[@rookietrucker5114]

One of the best of all time

New year's resolution to write something of value New year's resolution to write something would be fine All I ever wanted was someone to rely on All I ever wanted was somewhere to call home You offer A friendship I can not reciprocate So don't beg me In a garden For it not to end this way I've been cool With you I've been cool With you I've been cool With you The sooner you admit it I will too New year's resolution to write something of value With cheeks the color of Rhubarb we'll be fine Everybody's rushing around like they got a meeting I just want to be here with a friend of mine... We decided To brave The elements Of Spain Because The Seven Year Itch Was on telly Again I've been cool With you I've been cool With you I've been cool With you The sooner you admit it I will too I decided This pain Was a landscape Of blame I decided To be Only myself These days I've been cool With you I've been cool With you I've been cool With you The sooner you admit it I will too Stay now I wish that you would stay now Stay now You nearly went away now Stay now I wish you would stay now I wish you would stay now You nearly went away now Stay now Oh you nearly went away Stay now I wish you would stay now facebook.com/lvngubrthlss

Hi can

[@lunareed9465]

I love this band but when she sings live it seems she is just going through the motions

[@vincenzo6162]

i think it's part of her character. just cool.

[@EMuse888]

@Luna: Agreed, I think it's hilarious though. Seems to me they are major introverts, but I still love watching them perform live!

[@lunareed9465]

So do I Francis,I just wish she would try to hit her notes better live :)

[@vincenzo6162]

luna reed She's not a "singer" singer. But hey, she wrote the songs :)

[@EMuse888]

luna reed Where have you seen them perform? I saw them several years back at the Knitting Factory in Manhattan a year or so before it closed. Also saw them in Baltimore, or was it DC? And flew down to NC to watch them last year in Saxtapahaw. Missed them last year when they did a DJ set at the Metropolitan Hotel in NYC. Ah well...

[@chriswigginton7868]

Just great music sung by attractive women. What more could a guy ask for?
