Camera Obscura

Not to end up being confused with the Scottish twee pop clothing using the same name, this Camera Obscura hailed from NORTH PARK and augmented their hardcore affects and propulsive rhythms with synthesizers as well as other consumer electronics. The band produced in the past due ’90s and highlighted keyboardist Michelle Maskovich, guitarist Duane Pitre, drummer William Lamb, and vocalist Russell Light. They released their debut 7″, Composing Kodak/We Talked MIDI, in 1998 and implemented it up with touring, documenting, and their full-length debut, TO IMPROVE the Shape of the Envelope, in 2000. The group disbanded, and Light and Maskovich continued to create Champagne Kiss, who released their self-titled debut record on Troubleman Information later that calendar year.
