Camera Obscura
Two bands under the same name.
The first Camera Obscura are a Scottish indie pop band formed in 1996 by Tracyanne Campbell, John Henderson, and Gavin Dunbar. Since their debut album Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi released in 2002, they have mainly played acoustic, melancholic folk pop influenced by various sixties artists and contemporary UK indie pop groups.
In September, 2005, the band started recording their next album, named Let's Get out of This Country, with producer Jari Haapalainen. This album was released on June 06, 2006 and appeared high up in many critical lists of the 'best albums of 2006'.
The second Camera Obscura hailed from San Diego and augmented their hardcore influences and propulsive rhythms with synthesizers and other electronics. The band formed in the late '90s and featured keyboardist Michelle Maskovich, guitarist Duane Pitre, drummer William Lamb, and vocalist Russell White. They released their debut 7", Writing Kodak/We Talked MIDI, in 1998 and followed it up with touring, recording, and their full-length debut, To Change the Shape of an Envelope, released in 1999. The group disbanded, and White and Maskovich went on to form Champagne Kiss, who released their self-titled debut album on Troubleman Records later that year.
