The Light Nights – Camera Obscura

If my Tuesday night hadn’t been spent catching Kamasi Washington’s Mesa gig, you would have found me Wednesday night at the intimate & awesome Crescent Ballroom watching Scottish band Camera Obscura. I fully realize I missed a terrific and rare opportunity to see a great band live, and most notably to hear the voice of Tracyanne Campbell in the flesh. But alas, I am old, I’m a working man, and yada yada didn’t happen.

I can report though that I’m instantly smitten with a tune off their new album, Look to the East, Look to the West. The song is “The Light Nights,” and it hits all the same sweet spots for me that “Honey in the Sun” did a few years back.

The band is currently winding their way through the southern and eastern U.S., and will wrap their U.S. leg at Webster Hall in NYC on June 20th.

I highly recommend this great tune.

Let Tracyanne’s smooth, flawless voice wash over you like a cool babbling brook in the Torridon Hills…
” I want to be sun-kissed and put on your wish list immediately.”
