Listening to Camera Obscura, it's clear there are under-explored areas to fey Scottish indie, beyond the likes of The Pastels and Belle And Sebastian. Boy-girl harmonies and an acoustic guitar: Camera Obscura are songwriters from the school of purity. They took their name from an old Victorian prototype for photography and filled their songs with warmth and intimacy. Hailing from Glasgow, the six-piece further cemented their indie credentials by getting Stuart Murdoch to help produce their first album, 2001_s Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi. 2003's 'Underachievers Please Try Harder' followed: title definitely not ironic.
