Camera Obscura shared another track off their upcoming Desire Lines LP today, following last month’s rousing “Do It Again” with a somber, pre-breakup slow dance called “Fifth In Line To The Throne.” Somehow this consistent Glasgow quintet keep finding a charming fine line between lamenting lost love and their own brand of bittersweet optimism. “If you want me to leave, then I’ll go,” Tracyanne Campbell understates on the refrain, tired of a romance caught in limbo. “If you want me to stay, let it show.” A soundtrack to Scotland’s gloaming at its finest, stream/download the song above.
Desire Lines arrives via 4AD on June 4th.
