Биография

Camera Obscura are a Scottish indie pop group who became one of the most celebrated acts on the UK's twee pop scene. Hailing from Glasgow, Camera Obscura were formed in 1996 by lead vocalist and guitarist Tracyanne Campbell, percussionist John Henderson, and bassist Gavin Dunbar. They were frequently compared to Belle and Sebastian, and in fact Stuart Murdoch produced their debut album, 2001's Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi released on Andmoresound label. The album earned praise from influential BBC disc jockey John Peel, who invited the group to record a live session for broadcast on his show, and the single Eighties Fan became a hit. In 2003, Underachievers Please Try Harder is released on Elefant Records label, followed by an international tour covering Great Britain, Ireland, and the United States. In 2004, Camera Obscura recorded another session with John Peel. The group's third studio album, Let's Get Out Of This Country, was released in June 2006 (also with Elefant Records), and features one of the band's most popular tunes, Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken. In 2009, Camera Obscura were signed by UK label 4AD, and they released their first album for it, My Maudlin Career. The success of the single French Navy helped push the album into the Top 50 of the UK albums charts, and the Top 100 of the American album surveys. In 2013, the band released their second album for 4AD, Desire Lines. The album achieved a great commercial success similar to My Maudlin Career.
