Parma Violets Pick of The Week: Camera Obscura- French Navy


Hey!

Got another oldie but a goodie. This song is from 2009, 10 years ago. Can you believe that?! 2009 was a whole TEN years ago??? ....blimey.

Now whilst this particular track may hold fond memories of the song that played on the Echo Falls advert that used to sponsor Come Dine With Me, for me it's much more.

This song and the band Camera Obscura were my beginner's introduction into indie and folk music. A genre I 100% invested myself into and dived in - whilst everyone was going through their emo phase I was a full-on sombre indie princess.

This song is reminiscent of the cold and grey autumn days of 2013. Deep obscure Facebook posts I'd edited on picmonkey because I was deep now *sweeps bangs* and walking home or by the lake wondering how far away love was. Days spent discovering what things made me unique. For a start I was a black girl into indie!

There are nothing but sweet memories attatched to this up-beat Parma Violet tune and I'm glad I found the world of indie/alternative music. I've never been the same and I love everything I've discovered. Much love to the band and also ...to Carrie, their keyboardist and singer who passed away a few years back but not before creating so many beautiful things to leave behind.

Without any further waffle, here it is:
