Nico


"Camera Obscura" is the sixth and final studio album by German singer Nico, accompanied by the backing band The Faction. Recorded in March-April 1985, the album was released later that year under Beggars Banquet Records. Notably, it was produced by John Cale, marking their first studio collaboration since "The End..." in 1974. This album marked Nico's last studio recording before her passing. Known for her distinctive vocals and experimental style, Nico's "Camera Obscura" is a poignant culmination of her career, blending her somber yet compelling vocal delivery with Cale's atmospheric production. The album stands as a testament to Nico's enduring influence on avant-garde and alternative music.
