Revisiting those songs a couple of years later, the band made the decision to decamp from their native Glasgow to Portland, Oregon to work with GRAMMY nominated producer Tucker Martine (R.E.M., Spoon, My Morning Jacket), enlisting Neko Case and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James to contribute vocals along the way.\nTracyanne Campbell from the band says “Of all our records this was pretty much the most challenging to write, partly because of the situation we found ourselves in with having to take such a long and uncertain amount of time out, but also because it would be record number five and we were getting harder and harder to please. Working in the US with southern gentleman Tucker Martine was a positive experience. He brought a certain calmness to recording that wasn’t there before. We were also delighted to have Neko Case and Jim James sing on the record too. What a treat.”\nArtist And Album Information\nGlasgow’s Camera Obscura have undergone several line-up changes since founder members Tracyanne Campbell and Gavin Dunbar first began rehearsing together back in 1996. Since the amicable departure of Nigel Baillie in 2008, they have existed as a five-piece, with Lee Thomson, Kenny McKeeve and Carey Lander completing the line up.\nHaving released several low-key indie singles and two full-length studio albums, Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi (2001) and Underachievers Please Try Harder (2003), the band enlisted Swedish producer Jari Haapalainen (Ed Harcourt, Peter, Bjorn \u0026amp; John, The Concretes) to work on their next album, Let’s Get Out Of The Country. Jari turned out to be an inspired choice, fully realising not just the potential of Tracyanne Campbell’s songs and remarkable voice, but also the ensemble musicianship of the group as a whole. The finished album was a confident artistic statement, boasting a more powerful and cohesive sound than any previous Camera Obscura offerings.\nFollowing the widespread recognition that greeted Let’s Get Out of The Country, Camera Obscura signed a worldwide deal with 4AD in 2009. Returning to Sweden once more, fourth album My Maudlin Career again showcased the intuitive relationship the band had developed with Jari, creating a body of refined cinematic indie pop that marked the band’s position in the pop pantheon as anything but deathly. Indeed, 2010 saw the band tour the world, visiting Europe, US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Indonesia. If you needed proof of how far the band have come then there it was; a Scottish band not scared to quietly bide their time, playing all over the world, miles away from home, fitting in just fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 652637331424\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0652637331424\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 27073714\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128717426947,"sku":"ZN-SZEW-ZS0H","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/81_tR6T8UAL.jpg?v=1756053372","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/desire-lines","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
