It’s been some time since we last heard from Glasgow act Camera Obscura, but they’ve broken a near full four year silence with the announcement of a new album. Desire Lines follows on from 2009’s My Maudlin Career and will be released via 4AD on June 3rd in the UK and Europe and day after in the US. No details of the album have surfaced yet, but there will be guest spots from Neko case and Jim James. Also, to coincide with the album release, the band will set out on an extensive tour which includes a few days at SXSW. Check out the dates below.
