来自苏格兰格拉斯哥的Camera Obscura是由六个音乐家组成的一个明亮，闪耀的独立流行乐队。乐队最初在1996年成立，当时参与其中的有主音Tracyanne Campbell, John Henderson, 贝斯手Gavin Dunbar和吉他手David。他们一起进行创作并发行了一小量的单曲，其中Richard Colburn（Belle & Sebastian的鼓手）曾参EPs中的小部分歌曲。在乐队第一只专辑发行了3年后，Lee Thompson作为鼓手加入了Camera Obscura。与此同时，吉他手David也独自离开了乐队，另谋发展。Kenny McKeeve的加入刚好弥补回吉他手这个位置。不久后，键盘Lindsay Boyd也加入了Camera Obscura，从而成为一支6人的乐队。Camera Obscura有一位轻盈、灵动的女主唱Tracyanne Campell，她的嗓音深获乐评赞赏，常与Tracy Thorn、Astrud Gilberto等美丽女声相提并论。在2002年，被评选为2001年最有潜力乐队之一之后，Camera Obscura送上了他们的第一只完整的专辑《Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi》，并出现在AndMoreSound records的发行目录上，专辑的设计与制作得到Belle & Sebastian的成员Stuart Murdoch的帮助。人气也随着专辑的大卖而急剧上升。据说Camera Obscura是拉丁文中“暗房间”，不过从他们的音乐里没有那种冰冷的感觉，反而扑面而来的是暖洋洋的气氛。Camera Obscura，是个妙趣无穷的惊奇之箱，一切都在那光线的魔法下，显出色彩鲜明的影子，映照出缤纷幻变的世间景象。不听，便彷佛少看了一份不该错过的风景。

Does it make you happy to ignore me on streets?
I guess by now you think I’m weak
I wish you could have said something before now
I wouldn’t share a bag of chips with you
In my opinion you don’t have a clue
I’m being cruel I’m being cruel
I don’t want to be part of your scene
I’ll stick with him and keep my nose clean
You’re the one pretending to be licking stamps
All alone in a room following lines on maps
It’s clear you don’t want me here
How about I send you a book on nutrition
You can stop spoon-feeding me non-fiction
Just for a while, I will fake a smile
Why did you say she was a friend of mine?
I thought it was me you couldn’t stand
I’m confused
I will win you will lose
You’ve taken to phoning my house when you’re drunk
Confessing all your love
I wish you could have said so before now
I don’t want to be part of your scene
I’ll stick with him and keep my nose clean |
