Music Monday: Camera Obscura

This week Coachella is coming to me and I couldn't be happier about it. Camera Obscura has a sixties pop sound that I adore and dance embarrassingly to. There is something charming about them that I can't quite put my finger on. I'm convinced I will have to travel to Scotland and scope out their home base of Glasgow to have a better understanding of what makes them so endearing. Any excuse to travel is a good one, right?

This is the title track off their newest album My Maudlin Career:

Things I love: Musical Adventures

I like music but I love live music, I get off on the energy and finding new albums to get lost in. 9 times out of 10 if I'm out and about it's because I'm going to see a show. This spring promises plenty of musical adventures. So far I've got these on my "to see" list:

The Growlers: Last time I saw them they opened up for Vampire Weekend. They're worth another listen.

Ra Ra Riot: I may not be able to go to SXSW (Wouldn't that be so much fun? I need a partner in crime!) but I can see them when they roll into town.

Camera Obscura: I love their 60's pop-esque sound. I hope they play "Lloyd I'm Ready"—instant smile on my face if they do.

Best part is, those are just a few bands I plan on seeing in April. I'm excited for even more fun music this year.
