Founding member of Camera Obscura, Tracyanne Campbell helped shape the Scottish music scene in the 2000s with album's such as 2001 Biggest Bluest Hi Fi and 2009's My Maudlin Career. Born in Glasgow in 1974, Campbell grew up listening to records from her mother and grandmother's record collections -Carole King, Elvis and Nancy Sinatra being influential from an early age. After attending college, she formed Camera Obscura with John Henderson and Gavin Dunbar in 1996. Becoming an integral part of the Scottish music scene alongside Belle and Sebastian, the Delgados, and Franz Ferdinand, Camera Obscura delivered several albums, including 2009's U.K. Top 40-charting My Maudlin Career. In 2015 the group went on hiatus after the death of keyboardist Carey Lander. In the early 2010s Campbell crossed paths with Danny Coughlan, and after sharing some demos the pair decided to collaborate. Recording at Edwyn Collins' remote Scottish studio in 2017, their debut album, Tracyanne & Danny, appeared in 2018 on Camera Obscura's previous label Merge Records.
