Mid-Year Album Reviews, Part 1 (Camera Obscura, Mandy Moore)

So the year's about half-over now and I'd like to have a halfway decent review written for every album I've really loved thus far. Since I've been slacking off a bit in that department lately, I've got about half a dozen or so from the last couple months that I haven't really mentioned yet. So here are the first two of those, the rest to come soon-ish so that I don't have the need to write about them bugging me while I'm trying to evaluate the albums coming up in the second half of the year (which, by the looks of what I'm anticipating so far, will probably be a lot).

Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career

( REVIEW )

• French Navy
• Honey in the Sun

Purchase the album.

Mandy Moore - Amanda Leigh

( REVIEW )

• Merrimack River
• Fern Dell
• Nothing Everything
