Camera Obscura’s Tracyanne Campbell and Crybaby’s Danny Coughlan have been friends and mutual fans for years and have talked about collaborating for over half a decade, but it was the untimely passing of Camera Obscura’s keyboardist Carey Lander in 2015 that both put off and put into motion the duo’s new project, aptly named Tracyanne & Danny. Taking a break from music after Lander’s death, Campbell and Coughlan finally came together to record their self-titled debut, a ten-song effort that sounds like a well-blended indie smoothie of the two musician’s individual sounds.
“Alabama” appears on Tracyanne & Danny, out May 25th via Merge.
