Glasgow indie pop band Camera Obscura have released their new single “Liberty Print“, alongside a music video.
The track is taken from their upcoming album ‘Look to the East, Look to the West‘, due to be released on May 3 on Merge Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Camera Obscura‘s first album in more than 10 years, Look to the East, Look to the West is the sound of a band that has grown more confident in its sound and purpose than ever. It is Camera Obscura at their best and most evocative, an album that completely rearranges the listener’s emotional core, leaving them sad and exhilarated at the same time. The Tracyanne Campbell–led outfit, worked with producer Jari Haapalainen (Let’s Get Out of This Country, My Maudlin Career), and according to the press is their most sophisticated effort to date.
Commenting on the song, Campbell said: “I like ‘Liberty Print’ because I think it’s the song that sounds most unlike anything we’ve done before, it introduces a new direction. It sounds fresh and exciting, and it introduces Donna [Maciocia] on keys in a big way. It was important to us that if we were to have a new player, that she be allowed to make her own creative stamp on the songs.”
