"Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken" comes off Let's Get Out of This Country, Camera Obscura's 2006 album, and it's a Tracyanne Campbell song top to bottom: she wrote both the words and the music. Jari Haapalainen produced it and plays percussion, and he dressed it up generously, with a string section of Erik Arvinder, Andreas Forsman and Erik Holm on violin and Lena Bergström on cello, plus Tomas Hallonsten on accordion. Britta Persson sings backup, and Stefan Boman, Christoffer Roth and Johan Rude handled the engineering.
