Basing on good taste and hard work, CAMERA OBSCURA have reached an enviable cult status which is getting closer to massive. CAMERA OBSCURA's songs make the audience surrender to their charms with each listen: this is a new example of classic pop with that 'something special' so difficult to define: maybe because of Tracyanne's vocals? or the wide assortment of always exquisite influences, ranging from 50's girl bands to 60's soft pop or country pop? or maybe the transparent production of Geoff Allan, who has worked with MOGWAI, TEENAGE FANCLUB, THE DELGADOS, ARAB STRAP, BELLE AND SEBASTIAN? or maybe it's that songs like 'Teenager' are simply perfect? CAMERA OBSCURA know how to reach people's hearts with sweet melodies wisely dressed with delicate arrangements and bittersweet lyrics. A wonderful sample of mellowness, wisedom and worked-up pop jewelry.

8.0 / 10

Many of the most enchanting and popular indie pop records of the past few years have been filed under lap-pop ...

Camera Obscura has no doubt worn out their copy of If You're Feeling Sinister by now.
