My Maudlin Career came out in April of 2009 and has been praised by critics worldwide!  The single "French Navy" has been declared one of the catchiest songs around and was included in NPR's "Best Music Of 2009 So Far" top 30 reader's poll.  My Maudlin Career was #12 in Paste Magazine's Top 25 Albums of the year, and Stereogum's #29 album of 2009!

More praise for My Maudlin Career


"Camera Obscura has been crafting its own blend of shimmering chamber-pop since first forming in Glasgow in 1996. Now, more than a decade later, the group [is about to} release its richest and most ambitious album to date."
-NPR's Exclusive First Listen

"It's an infectious album that blooms repeatedly throughout, unfolding in muted, endearing aural hues; simultaneously sad and celebratory, and always charming."
-Paste 89%

"The result is a flawless blend of sunny pop, Motown, blues and jazz with the cleanest production in Camera Obscura's catalog."
-Billboard

 "On their fourth album, this Scottish indie-pop band's fondness for woeful heartache and Phil Spector-sque production reaches a poignant peak."
-Spin

 "My Maudlin Career" stands as one of the finest among Camera Obscura’s four studio records.  It's a sadly poetic collection that you don't necessarily have to be heartbroken to enjoy!  It is an album dripping with tragic beauty."
-ABC News
