Watch: Camera Obscura Share "Troublemaker" Music Video

Glasgow five-piece Camera Obscura have shared the video for "Troublemaker", taken from their latest album 'Desire Lines', released back in June via 4AD. The song is part of our current playlist.

Inspired by the likes of Tom Baker-era Doctor Who, Blake 7 and ITV's The Tomorrow People, the video was shot on the cheap to fully capture the song's '80s sound, according to longtime director Blair Young, while saving the band money along the way.

"'Troublemaker' is a tribute to the British sci-fi of yesteryear, low budget and futuristic in an '80s way," he says. "We hope we've done these shows justice and it recreates a feel that made geeks of so many of us back in the day."
