Camera Obscura is an Indie pop band from Glasgow, Scotland led by singer Tracyanne Campbell. Their early material is often compared to fellow Scots, Belle and Sebastian because of its precocious lyrics, split male-female vocals, and slow, lo-fi sound. After the departure of vocalist John Henderson, Camera Obscura's sound became more upbeat and featured more studio production.
