Camera Obscura

Camera Obscura started in 1996 and after many years together and with the subtraction and addition of band members, today they comprises of Tracy-anne Campbell, Gavin Dunbar, Lee Thomson, Kenny McKeeve, Nigel Baillie and Carey Lander. Distinctly 50’s/early 60’s pop, Camera Obscura sounds just like a record you would steal out of your grandmother’s attic, though perhaps cooler. With a beautifully nostalgic sound, there’s nothing to really separate this band from one heard in a by gone era and perhaps the only bad thing that could be said about Camera Obscura is this lack of originality. Yet despite this, the sweet vocals, pretty instrumental backup and dreamy choruses make this very pleasant music to slow dance to.
