2005, Merge
Insound Staff Pick - 2009! Glasgow's Camera Obscura create lilting, sophisticated melodies that draw similarities to the work of Belle & Sebastian, The Clientele, and Trembling Blue Stars, but are also rooted in the more classic sounds of Nick Drake, Donovan, and Petula Clark. This is their first domestic release. Songs drift and linger like clouds in a summer sky, with gentle hooks and breezy vocals that stick in your head like a pleasant memory.

William Houlihan
Whirly, twirly, poppy, pretty and surprisingly damn contagious. This album for me was a slow drug. Sort of uncomfortable and awkward at first, but after Lunar Sea, these eerie nostalgic hooks became hauntingly familiar, like a girl I might have done some wrong to when I was an ignorant child, that I had all but forgotten about until Ms. Campbell reminded me I should never have been such an ass. The one thing that spoke to me most, besides Tracyannes somewhat demure somewhat demanding vocals, was an overall presence of hard forgotten memories. I became addicted to this album for a period of about four and a half months, then I moved on. But yet every time I listen to this one, it successfully brings me to an ethereal past life of which I was never given the opportunity of knowing...until now. Thanks Camera Obscura, you Let Me Go Home.
