Since I've been home, pretty much the only thing I've been listening to is Camera Obscura's latest album, My Maudlin Career. It came out in April 2009, but I didn't get it until right before leaving school, and it is well on its way to becoming that one album that I listen to over and over all summer. The songs are kind of sad, but also super-cute! Some of my favorite songs from this album are "French Navy" (I know María really likes this one, too), "The Sweetest Thing," "James," and "Honey in the Sun." There are some adorable lyrics like: Are my eyes the coldest blue?/ You said once this was true/ If it is, I don't know what I'll do/ 'cause I'm stuck with them/ and they're stuck on you, from "You Told a Lie." SO cute!
Watch the video for "French Navy" here.
Love, Jillian
