At the end of January 2025, Scottish indiepop band made a surprise announcement that they are doing a UK/Ireland 2025 tour. Tickets are on sale now. Special guests includes Snowgoose (Irish dates), The Cords (UK dates, including Glasgow), and the Vaselines (Glasgow date only).

Last year, Camera Obscura released Look to the Demos, a companion EP, to their Look to the East, Look to the West record. Originally the Demos EP was an exclusive bonus CD to the Rough Trade version of Look to the East, Look to the West, but in September 2024, the band made the EP available on digital release.

We caught the band for their Look to the East, Look to the West tour in Jun 2024 and said, “Based on hearing the new songs from their latest album Look to the East, Look to the West, Camera Obscura hasn’t change from their tried-and-true formula of writing great lyrics with that indiepop sound that we love so much. Hopefully, it won’t take another decade for the band to come back.”

Southern California’s punk band Camera Obscura (not to be confused with the Scottish band) recently shared a new single from their forthcoming forthcoming reissue on Solid Brass Records.

The band formed in 1998 from the ashes of Shortwave Channel, The Interstate Ten, and Spanakorzo, and have played with Fugazi, Blonde Redhead, Tristeza, The Faint, Men’s Recovery Project, The Vue, during their time in the sun. They broke up in 2000.

Solid Brass Records recently announced the 25th Anniversary reissue of their LP, To Change the Shape of an Envelope, available on Feb 7, 2025. The album will also be made available on digital for the first time, as well as on Limited Edition Ruby Red or Opaque White vinyl.
