All of this is coming up because of CAMERA OBSCURA, that group that \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStuart Murdoch \u003c\/b\u003e(BELLE \u0026amp; SEBASTIAN) discovered and which he became obsessed with, to the point of producing their third single (“Eighties Fan”), directing the corresponding music video, doing the arrangements on their first album, and so many more things. We fell in love with that song and it made us license their first album, “Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi” for the whole world, and then sign them with Elefant Records and release their following two albums on our label for the entire planet, until they wound up signing with 4AD, the label that groups like COCTEAU TWINS, STEREOLAB, THE NATIONAL, GRIMES and the PIXIES spent time with.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe time has come to re-release those two sought after albums that have been out of print for so long on vinyl, “Underachievers Please Try Harder” (2003) and “Let’s Get Out Of This Country” (2006). The latter was their definitive confirmation, the album that brought them to perform halfway around the world and made them known by a larger audience than the gem hunters who already loved them from their first album “Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi”. “Underachievers Please Try Harder” is the album with “Teenager”, “A Sister Social Agony”, “Keep It Clean” and “Suspended From Class”; it is the album on which \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStuart Murdoch \u003c\/b\u003econtinues showing his support for the band with the cover photo; the album produced by \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGeoff Allan\u003c\/b\u003e (who has also worked with other illustrious Scottish bands like MOGWAI, TEENAGE FANCLUB, THE DELGADOS, ARAB STRAP and BELLE \u0026amp; SEBASTIAN); the album that quickly surpassed 100.000 sold copies, a number that causes a bit of vertigo nowadays; the album that put them at the top of indie lists in the United States, and that was included on an episode of our beloved “Gilmore Girls”.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Let’s Get Out Of This Country” is the album of maturity, the album of a group that has a solid international position and how they approach this third album that will immortalize them. It was recorded in Sweden and produced by \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJari Haapalainen\u003c\/b\u003e (\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEd Harcourt\u003c\/b\u003e, THE CONCRETES), and with it, \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracyanne Campbell \u003c\/b\u003eand\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ecompany made the definitive leap with their arrangements, energy, harmonies and composition. Some of the musicians that recorded the strings had recently toured with \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrian Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArthur Lee\u003c\/b\u003e \u0026amp; LOVE. The album’s collaborators include \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVictoria Bergsman\u003c\/b\u003e from THE CONCRETES, \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBritta Persson\u003c\/b\u003e and members of Swedish groups like THE TOURETTES, LAAKSO and SPEEDMARKET AVENUE. And we get “Lloyd, I’m Ready To Be Heartbroken”, “Tears For Affairs”, “Razzle Dazzle Rose” and “Let’s Get Out Of This Country” to confirm this. And of course, they toured the ENTIRE world. And they were sounding on “Grey’s Anatomy”. And in the end 4AD came to sign a group that had become gigantic.","brand":"Elefant Records","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":51672075436345,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51672075469113,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/2744\/4291\/files\/a0750627296_10.webp?v=1687396462","url":"https:\/\/www.goingundergroundrecords.com\/products\/camera-obscura-lets-get-out-of-this-country-vinyl-lp","provider":"Going Underground Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
