[DID NOT ATTEND: May 29, 2024] Camera Obscura
When it was announced that Camera Obscura had released their first album in 11 years and were touring for the U.S. for the first time in longer, I got caught up in the hype. I didn’t really know them, but felt like I sort of did. But it turns out I didn’t know them at all. Then I thought, ooh, their Scottish, I wonder if they are interesting and unusual.
I listened to the new album a few ties and I like it, just not enough to go out a second night in a row. The same thing happened when they played a song on the radio this morning, I thought it was pleasant, but when they said it was Camera Obscura, I didn’t think it was anything more than pleasant.
They more or less broke up in 2015 following the death of their keyboardist but reunited to play at a festival headed by Belle & Sebastian.
I really wanted to like them, but nothing i listened to really stuck. (more…)
