I first heard the Lloyd Cole song “Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken?” when a friend played me Rattlesnakes, which became a favorite. Later I realized the Camera Obscura track was a nod to it, and I was instantly hooked—it’s an indie pop classic that channels ’80s UK influences into something fresh. We originally covered it during a radio session around Harm’s Way, and after playing it on tour, we decided to record it properly. Gep from Lunar Vacation did a killer vocal arrangement that elevated it.
