BIOGRAPHY: (courtesty of Mark Deming at allmusic.com www.allmusic.com/artist/camer...)
Hailing from Glasgow, Camera Obscura were formed in 1996 by lead vocalist and guitarist Tracyanne Campbell, percussionist John Henderson, and bassist Gavin Dunbar. After playing out with a handful of guest musicians, Camera Obscura expanded to a quartet with the addition of guitarist David Skirving, and in 1998, the group issued their first single, "Park & Ride" on the indie Andmoresound label. In 2000, Lee Thompson joined Camera Obscura as their full-time drummer, and Lindsay Boyd signed on as keyboard player. In 2001, Skirving left the band, and Kenny McKeeve became their new guitarist. As they became better known, they were frequently compared to Belle and Sebastian, and B&S leader Stuart Murdoch was recruited to produce their debut album, 2001's Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi. The album earned praise from John Peel, who invited the group to record a live session for broadcast on his BBC show, and the single "Eighties Fan" became a modest hit. In 2002, Lindsay Boyd parted ways with Camera Obscura and Carey Lander took her place behind the keyboards, while Nigel Baillie also joined the band, handling trumpet and percussion.
The group themselves produced their second album, 2003's Underachievers Please Try Harder, and further established their melancholy, unassuming sound. Its release (on the Elefant and Merge labels) was followed by an international tour covering Great Britain, Ireland, and the United States.
For the recording of their third album, Let's Get Out of This Country, the band traveled to Sweden for two weeks to record with Concretes' producer Jari Haapalainen. The results were a batch of reverb-drenched songs that took influence from Motown, vintage country, and heartbreak. It was released in June 2006, and features one of the band's most popular tunes, an answer song to Lloyd Cole's "Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken" titled "Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken." It was featured in the film P.S. I Love You, the TV series Friday Night Light, and did a great deal to boost the band's profile. In 2009, Camera Obscura were signed by the celebrated U.K. label 4AD, and released My Maudlin Career, in April of that year. The success of the single "French Navy" helped push the album into the Top 50 of the U.K. album charts, and the Top 100 in America. (The song also became the theme of the U.K. cooking show Come Dine with Me). The year saw another lineup change for Camera Obscura as Nigel Baillie left the band to spend more time with his family.
In 2015, Camera Obscura canceled a tour of the United States when Carey Lander was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. Lander's bandmates rallied around her, helping support an online campaign to raise both funds for treatment and awareness of the disease, but on October 11, 2015, cancer claimed Lander's life. The band went on hiatus afterward, with Campbell recording an album with Danny Coughlan and releasing it in May of 2018 under the name Tracyanne & Danny. Later that year, Camera Obscura reunited to play the Belle and Sebastian-sponsored Boaty Weekender with Donna Maciocia on keyboards and backing vocals. They decided to record another album, and after being derailed by COVID-19, began writing, with Maciocia (who was now a full member of the band) helping out. They brought back Haapalainen to produce and stripped away much of the reverb of previous albums while adding some subtle electronics and pedal steel guitar on the way to delivering a set of country rock-influenced songs dealing with the evergreen topics of love and loss. Look to the East, Look to the West was issued by Merge in May of 2024.

I don't know anything about guitar skills but this dude blows my hair back
I was singing along to a lot of this. thank you so much for filming and sharing!
My pleasure! We don't know how long it'll be before they tour NA again so in the meantime we can all return to this special evening!
tonight in DC. hope they play at least one song from "Desire Lines"
Just saw them in San Francisco. So glad they're back.
Been a long time coming but so worth the wait!
You and I both Donald. I’m visiting from Perth Western Australia. It was a terrific bonus to see them.
By the way, thank you so much for posting the concert!
It's my pleasure, thanks for the cool comments and for watching my ups! 👍
I am going to see them on saturday in Mexico city! I´m so excited!!!😭 I will cry so much.
Happy for ya! Have fun!
Me too!
This is fantastic. Thanks heaps for posting.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I am going to see them tomorrow in Los Angeles!!!
YAY you!!! They sound soooo good live! Which songs are you hoping they'll play?
@@sesipro my favorite right now is "Let's get out the country", "Honey in the sun" and "Swans" but I love all teir music!
@@sesipro they played Swans last night and Desire Lines. It was amazing.
I love this band💙💙
thanks for sharing 😄
My pleasure person of culture 😁 Thanks for watching!
So good seeing Tim back with them for this tour!
I was at the concert in Montreal!
Awesome! I'm guessing they played James instead of Forests & Sands in Montreal?
@@sesipro Yesss, they did! One of my favourite songs!
@@marianafonseca7644 I would have loved to have heard James and Swans since My Maudlin Career is my fav album of theirs. Next time!
@@sesipro In Montreal there was a lot people asking her to sing James (including me :D). Maybe that's why she did. I don't know!
🔥
I do love their music and I saw them for the first time last night in La. I found them to be lackluster and was wondering if that's their usual? Also, the roadie/tech coming on stage probably 10x didnt help.
Personally, I wasn't expecting any super energetic performance by the band given the atmosphere of their albums so I was completely happy with their live. Hearing Traceyanne singing 'Toronto' and seeing her smile at the crowd's reaction would have been enough for me, but I got plenty more!
@@sesipro I get that, were you at the la show? Gavin and Traceyanne looked to me like they'd rather be somewhere else.
@@69avas No, I only attended their Toronto show. Traceyanne provided some light-hearted banter during our show and seemed to enjoy being there. Maybe something negative happened before or during the show that caused her to be less jovial? Gavin seemed to have a pretty straight face throughout our performance, so that could just be his normal default.
@@69avas So I watched some footage of the LA show and I can see what you mean about Traceyanne's demeanor. But to me it looked like she was very tired and perhaps didn't get proper sleep or maybe was recovering from something, more of a physical issue than anything else. Donna appeared the same way too... maybe they both ate some bad food? And Gavin actually was bopping along with his body while playing his bass, so he actually seemed into it.
