The Village, Sunday May 06
tix: €17 plus booking fee from WAV, City Discs, Road Records, Sound Cellar & Ticketmaster
One of our favourite Foggy shows from 2006 was a night of hot sweaty indie-pop in Whelan’s courtesy of Glasgow’s finest, Camera Obscura. We literally turned hundreds of people away from the door that night. They return to Dublin on the back of glowing acclaim for their third album, Let’s Get Out of the Country, throughout which Tracyanne Campbell’s resiliently moody pop poetry spills themes of heartache, independence, bitterness, post break-up defiance and vulnerability with frightening ease. And yet the music around her is altogether more off-the-wall; a cacophony of brass and church organs and surging indie-pop set to seductively old-fashioned melodies.
Jari Haapalainen [The Concretes] gives Camera Obscura a Stockholm production that glistens like ice. Throw in some Lloyd Cole and a touch of Dory Previn and we have an almost perfect third album. Their first and second albums are pretty ace too.
Tracyanne Campbell - guitar and vocals
Carey Lander - piano, organ and vocals
Kenny McKeeve - guitar, mandolin, harmonica and vocals
Gavin Dunbar - bass
Lee Thomson - drums
Nigel Baillie - trumpet and percussion
