CD Reviews

Sometimes hindsight is rewarding
van gogh's ear | the milky way | 07/15/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Just purchased "Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi" after having seen them live and purchasing "Let's Get Out Of This Country" and am elated that I did. Usually, I "discover" a band from its inception, yet Camera slipped under my radar. This cd is fantastic from start to finish. The songwriting is clever and erudite and the music a perfect complement to Tracyanne's voice. I highly recommend this or "Let's Get Out..." as a starting point to enjoy catchy but complex pop."
Solid Album
Boy in the Bubble | 11/16/2008

"Anyone who is a fan of Belle & Sebastian will love this band. This is Camera Obscura's first album, and they really put a lot of great songs on this record. Tracyanne Campbell, the lead singer on most of the band's songs, does a great job giving life to the lyrics. The music is pretty low-key, not many electric guitars and such, but it's a good album for a rainy day."
Good for your heart

"This sounds like your going back to the times when life was laid back, happy and care free. . . somewhere outside the polluted city. . . amongst the trees, green grasses, birds, sea, blue skies . . . . . nature at its finest. . . how life was so simple then . . its the sound of this album. . ."
