Camera Obscura, “Underachievers Please Try Harder” (Merge, 2003)
Funny title, because this album represents this band’s transition from good to great. Same jangly/melodic C86/Velts-derived indie pop as before, same range of moods from effervescent to meditative, but these songs are just so brilliantly articulated and incisive. A must-hear for fans of this sound.
