Camera Obscura joins host Stephen Kallao

After losing their bandmate, Carey Lander, the Scottish indie band Camera Obscura questioned whether they would ever make music again. But, an invitation to perform again led to renewed interest and eventually, the band’s first album in 11 years. On the World Cafe, Camera Obscura joins us for a live studio session and conversation about the new album, Look to the East, Look to the West.

Listen to the session here.
