It is of course Burns Night this evening. And as a wee accompaniment to the haggis, the recitation of Tam O’Shanter and the innumerable toasts to the Immortal Memory, here’s something from another Scottish institution: Camera Obscura’s version of Ae Fond Kiss (“Ae Fond Kiss and then we slever” as we always knew it back in the Hebrides).
Stunning (of course it was)! 10/10. My Maudlin Career is out now.

Earlier today, to serve as a last-minute treat for their NYC based fans, Camera Obscura performed a dazzling mini-set inside an old bank vault (read: sweltering basement). Official TMS Rating: 9/10. Camera Obscura recently dropped by Yours Truly. My Maudlin Career is available now.
