4AD announce trio of signings
4AD today unveiled their big three for 2009: The Big Pink, Broken Records (long time beloved of DiS) and Camera Obscura have all signed on the dotted line.
The former pair will release their debut albums later in the year, while Camera Obscura prepare to follow up 2006's Let's Get Out Of This Country with a new record - currently untitled - which they finished recording late last year.
Expect more news on all three bands' activities as we get it. For now, here's a Broken Records video for your viewing pleasure.
DiScuss: Who's best? Looking forward to Broken Records' debut as much as we are?

Broken Records...
...were ace at Great Escape and Latitude last year. Splendid stuff. 4AD are lovely indeed.
I doubt it
It's probably Future of the Left you mean.
Last Night I Saved Her From Vampires
, the live album, is supposedly out in a couple of weeks through 4AD.
I thought
Electricity in Our Homes had been signed for an album after having down a single then..
that really shocked me
i thought it was the end for them when the singer left, but they're actually so much better without him.
broken records
are ace, they are also doing two free gigs in glasgow and endiburgh next week. woo
No, that's The Levellers
Or are you trying to say they sound alike?
sweet!
broken Records are awesome. As are Camera Obscura. Since the beggers merge, 4AD just keeps looking better and better

My Modelling Career
that's the name of the Camera Obscura-Album btw.
^ it's not called my modelling career
close but no cigar....
Im going to go out on a limb here and say
yes, that's what he means. Cos they do, maybe a bit more like the waterboys though.
Why?
Just because they have a violin? - bit of a lazy comparison!
They are an amazing band in their own right and deserve all the success they get
Can't wait for Broken Records album!!
They're playing London on March 31st too :-)
Every fucking band has a violin now
the hallmark of Latitude last year.
