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.\n\u003cdiv class=\"section clearfix\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" 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”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elefant Records","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":51648094765369,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51672068817209,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/2744\/4291\/files\/a0723069816_10.webp?v=1687398144","url":"https:\/\/www.goingundergroundrecords.com\/products\/camera-obscura-underachievers-please-try-harder-vinyl-lp","provider":"Going Underground Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
