Camera Obscura Announce New Album, 2024 North American Tour


Camera Obscura have announced Look to the East, Look to the West, their first new album in over 10 years, out May 3rd via Merge Records. Plus, the Scottish indie pop veterans have mapped out a 2024 North American tour and shared the lead single, “Big Love.”

Led by guitarist/vocalist Tracyanne Campbell, Camera Obscura reunited with previous producer Jari Haapalainen (Let’s Get Out of This CountryMy Maudlin Career) to record Look to the East, Look to the West. The band had gone on hiatus following the 2015 passing of founding keyboard Carey Lander, but reconnected for Belle & Sebastian’s 2019 Boaty Weekender cruise and a pair of warm-up shows in Glasgow.

Donna Maciocia joined Camera Obscura on keys and vocals for those gigs, and has since become a regular songwriting partner of Campbell’s alongside founding members Kenny McKeeve (guitar and vocals), Gavin Dunbar (bass), and Lee Thomson (drums and percussion). Pre-orders for Look to the East, Look to the West are ongoing.

In support of Look to the East, Look to the West, Camera Obscura have mapped out a run of North American tour dates. It kicks off on May 29th in Philadelphia, with subsequent stops in Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, and Washington, DC before wrapping up on June 20th at New York City’s Webster Hall.

Lead single “Big Love” is a breakup anthem influenced by country and prog rock, with accompaniment by Tim Davidson on pedal steel. On the track, Campbell sings about the all-too-relatable temptation to revisit the past. Stream it below.

“‘Big Love’ is our tribute to Waylon Jennings, with a nod to Sandy Denny and prog rock band Scope,” Campbell said in a press statement. “It’s a song about not looking back, having faith in the present and future.”

Camera Obscura’s last album, Desire Lines, was released in 2013.
