Single of the Week - Camera Obscura - The Sweetest Thing

With this charming, delightfully chirpy number Camera Obscura once again hark back to their roots with their 60's-70's influenced blend of indie pop. Tracyanne Campbell's wonderful vocals shine through and are backed up by a string section which adds even more depth to this insanely catchy song.
The B side is a very interesting take on Bruce Springsteen's 'Tougher Than The Rest' and the well produced video emphasises even further their homage to 70's culture with every band member dressed as their favourite artists of that period.
The Sweetest Thing which is the third single to be released from their latest album 'My Maudlin Career' is another fine example of a Camera Obscura's knack of being able to write a brilliant pop song.
