Camphor – Drawn to Dust

  • April 27, 2009

Camphor, a New York-based atmospheric chamber pop group, is built around the songwriting of Max Avery Lichtenstein (of indie rock band Timesbold and best known for the unconventional instrumental music in the indie films Tarnation, Jesus’ Son and The King.) Drawn to Dust is organic and atmospheric with complexly layered arrangements built around instruments ranging from the organic (mariachi horns, strings, woodwinds and harp) to the manufactured (mellotrons, optigans, lo-fi electronics and more). With Drawn to Dust, Camphor invites comparisons to Califone, Sparklehorse, Calexico and Wilco.
