Camera Obscura - To Change the Shape of an Envelope: Wikipedia Album Entry
A beautiful, enthralling record, fusing together a concise blend of spacy melody, shouted art rockish hardcore, and droning shoegazer style. Camera Obscura absorbed an essence out of empty rooms and built it into something sprawling and stylish, with extended monolithic empires of distorted swirling vocals, looping whirling saunas, and sample-riddled amalgams of synth and organized noise. Sometimes bordering on what some would call pretentious, yet paying off in undeniably raw expression, To Change the Shape of an Envelope is an album that you either understand and love, or it passes you completely by. In smallest terms, Camera Obscura could be considered the My Bloody Valentine of post-hardcore, meshing layer upon layer of blissful interlocking cacophony in perfectly structured lines. This is their full-length pinnacle; take warning. ~ Blake Butler, All Music Guide
