Label: 4AD

Genre: Indie Pop / Dream Pop

Format: Vinyl / CD / Cassette

Description:

With Desire Lines, Scottish indie-pop darlings Camera Obscura deliver one of their most graceful and heartfelt albums — a shimmering blend of warm melodies, wistful storytelling, and dreamy arrangements. Tracyanne Campbell’s gentle, expressive vocals float over jangly guitars, soft synth textures, and lush harmonies, creating a sound that feels both comforting and quietly bittersweet.

The album explores themes of longing, connection, and emotional distance, all wrapped in the band’s signature mix of nostalgic charm and modern indie elegance. Guest appearances from Neko Case and Jim James (My Morning Jacket)add extra warmth and depth, making Desire Lines feel expansive yet deeply intimate.

For fans of Belle & Sebastian, The Pastels, and Alvvays, this record is a beautifully crafted slice of melodic indie pop — tender, sparkling, and timeless. A perfect soundtrack for late-night drives, slow mornings, and moments of quiet reflection.
