About Me

Camera Obscura is a small independent record label operating out of the Central Victoria Highlands in Australia. The label was started in 1996 as conduit for the release of contemporary acid-folk, psych-pop and space-rock. That's still who we are, though the boundaries have always been allowed to stretch and blur.The label has over 70 releases to its credit working with both vinyl and CD formats.
