小简介
Max Avery Lichtenstein -- a New York-based producer, composer, songwriter, and member of the indie rock outfit Timesbold -- is the driving force behind Camphor s atmospheric chamber pop. After writing music for several independent films (including Jesus Son, Tarnation, and The King), Lichtenstein became interested in creating songs that were unrelated to cinema. Launching a new project in 2006, he drew from a combination of organic (horns, harp, woodwinds) and manufactured instruments (Mellotron, electronics) to fashion the songs that would later comprise Camphor s debut. Members of Mercury Rev, Beirut, Bright Eyes, and Timesbold all pitched in, and the collaborative LP Drawn to Dust introduced Camphor s layered sound in early 2008.
