Opaque White. 25th Anniversary Reissue. Remastered With New Artwork. Catalog Number: LP-BRASS-16C2 Color: White Format: LP UPC: 850045720896 By the late 90s the independent music scene in San Diego, CA had become synonymous with noisy, post-hardcore bands that were pushing the boundaries of what it meant to be punk. Camera Obscura cut their teeth on the angular and abrasive sounds of Antioch Arrow, Clickatat Ikatowi, and Heroin, and incorporated synths and electronics to create their own dark, jarring, experimental rock sound. 'To Change the Shape of an Envelope', released in 2000 on Troubleman Unlimited, was their only LP. The album runs the gamut sonically with dark, high energy songs like "Twenty-Five Diamonds" and "Sarasota", the early industrial sounds of "Something About a Nightmare", and the shoegaze influenced "Cinematheque". FFO: The Faint, The VSS, and Clickatat Ikatowi.
