Description:

After nearly a decade of silence, Camera Obscura return with Look to the East, Look to the West — a beautifully crafted album that glows with emotional maturity, wistful charm, and the band’s unmistakable melodic warmth. Tracyanne Campbell’s tender vocals take center stage, guiding songs filled with jangly guitars, breezy rhythms, and gentle layers of dream-pop shimmer.

The album explores themes of memory, distance, and quiet resilience, radiating a soft, sunlit melancholy that feels both nostalgic and refreshing. Camera Obscura’s storytelling remains vivid and intimate, painting scenes of love, heartbreak, and healing with their signature blend of sweetness and subtle ache.

Musically rich and emotionally honest, Look to the East, Look to the West is a triumphant return — delicate yet confident, soothing yet full of life.

For fans of Belle & Sebastian, The Sundays, and Alvvays, this album is an essential modern indie-pop gem — tender, melodic, and timeless
