Camera Obscura meets Richard Hawley

Scottish indie darlings Camera Obscura have announced their release of a collaborative single with Richard Hawley. Camera Obscura cover Hawley's "The Nights Are Cold" and Hawley returns the favour by covering Camera Obscura's "The Sweetest Thing".

Honestly, I haven't heard Hawley's cover of "The Sweetest Thing". However, I heard Camera Obscura's "The Nights Are Cold" tonight on X-posure with John Kennedy, and it is absolutely beautiful.

Here are the originals of the tracks:





The single will be released on 17 May on 4AD Records. You can pre-order the single on hmv.com
