Camera Obscura是来自苏格兰的一支6人民谣乐队。女主唱Tracyanne Campell是Belle and Sebastian大提琴手Isobel Campbell的妹妹。
苏格兰西南部的Glasgow市,原本以工业著名,90年代以来竟然变得人文荟萃。除了美术馆、博物馆林立以外,这里还出产了一堆知名乐团和音乐人,如Belle & Sebastian、Mogwai、Travis、Texas、Teenage Fanclub、The Jesus and Mary Chain,还有就是Camera Obscura。
Camera Obscura的音乐是属于清新的Indie-Pop(Individual-Pop 独立流行乐) 风格,也带着些Dream-Pop。从音乐风格上来说,Camera Obscura受Belle & Sebastian的影响很大!这也是有原因的,因为CO和B&S的渊源很深:Camera Obcura成立初期,他们的鼓手就是B&S的Richard Colburn客串担当的。而他们第1张唱片的制作人也是B&S的主唱Stuart Murdoch。也因此,CO的音乐,或多或少的带着B&S的影子。
