The first single to be released from Camera Obscura’s upcoming album Desire Lines was “Do It Again”; a typically peppy and sunny track from the Scottish quintet. The second is almost the exact opposite of that. “Fifth In Line To The Throne” displays the band’s softer, more introverted and heartbreaking side. Singer Tracyanne Campbell explains that the song is “a song about someone in a seemingly perfect relationship but there is a dark underside to it. We wanted to sound menacing and give folks the creeps.”
Listen to “Fifth In Line To The Throne” below and look out for Desire Lines coming out through 4AD on June 4th.
