So that’s why they called it Desire Lines. When Camera Obscura revealed their next album would have the same title as a song by 4AD labelmates Deerhunter, it was easy to hope and/or fear the moody Scottish popsters would go all noise-rock on us. As intriguing as that could be, the Glaswegians don’t fix what ain’t broken on “Do It Again,” the bouncy, tuneful first listen from Camera Obscura’s June 4 album (which is available for pre-order). Motown’s stomp and indie-pop’s jangle still course through the song — frontwoman Tracyanne Campbell alludes to “Tears of a Clown” — but as part of a festively flush arrangement, with bustling hand percussion, smoky, melodic lead guitar, and an extra helping of ebullient backing vocals. “You were insatiable,” Campbell sings, as the song’s cheerful friskiness suggests a different type of desire. You know, Norwegian space-disco trio Meanderthals put out an album called Desire Lines once, too. Camera Obscura have done it again.
