Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken

Camera Obscura's organtastic '60s go-go meets folk actually sounds exactly like The Concretes -- right down to Tracyanne Campbell's voice -- only the songwriting is better. (The Concretes tend to choose a few chords and stick with them.) I don't know why no one's made this comparison before, because it was so obvious when I saw them live.
