Best known for her work with Belle and Sebastian, Isobel Campbell says her new solo album is inspired by "French girl singers, psychedelia, Jimmy Webb, Antonio Carlos Jobim, 'The Graduate,' 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,' and of course, the most universal of all themes - even in these cynical times - Love."
