Camera Obscura

Camera Obscura were formed in 1996 by Tracyanne Campbell, John Henderson, and Gavin Dunbar. Several other members performed with the band before David Skirving joined as a permanent guitarist. The band's first releases were the singles "Park and Ride" and "Your Sound" in 1998. The band's line up changed in 2000 and 2001 when Lee Thompson joined as its permanent drummer and Lindsay Boyd as a keyboard player and Skirving left and was replaced by Kenny McKeeve. The Rare UK Bird EP was also released in 1999.

In November 2008, the band announced that they had completed recording the follow-up to Let's Get Out of This Country, and that the new album, My Maudlin Career, would be released in April 2009. In February 2009, it was announced that the band had signed to the label 4AD, who will release the album, and that "due to family commitments Nigel will no longer be a full time member of Camera Obscura.
