TRAILER TRASH TRACYS - WISH YOU WERE RED (7")

Trailer Trash Tracys Wish You Were Red on 7" Vinyl

Trailer Trash Tracys aka Suzanne Aztoria, Jimmy Lee, Adam Jaffrey and Dayo James, rose to prominence with the spiraling debut “Candy Girl/ You Wish You Were Red” last year, which went on to be championed by the UK press. Taking their cues from wide, varied influences and interests such as solfeggio harmonics, the transitionary period of analogue to digital in Western pop music and Sufi Poetry, the quartet make kaleidoscopic yet otherworldly pop songs, a beautiful clash of exquisite and dissonant, loaded with tension and seemingly hovering on the brink of collapse.

Now, with a much anticipated debut full-length awaiting release in January of 2012 from Double Six/ Domino, the Trailer Trash Tracys are expanding their sonic palette even further. “Wish You Were Red” may take its cues from influences as disparate as Dick Dale’s '50s surf pop and Angelo Badalamenti’s more lush moments on David Lynch films, but its mise-en-scène is most assuredly the band’s own.

Beginning with the slow growing hum of fuzz tone and drumbeats, Jimmy Lee’s SoCal guitars then drop in and set the song in dramatic motion; creating a song that is cavernous and expansive even as it is imbued with intimacy and warmth, especially with Suzanne Aztoria’s fallen angel vocals reverberating throughout.

The cryptically titled “Engelhardt’s Arizona,” meanwhile, pitches ringing, circling guitar shreds against a moodily spacious backdrop, with the swooning vocals urging the track ever onwards and skywards, building to a miasmic, transcendent climax. Taken together, it is a potent introduction to the bracingly unpredictable, cinematic world of Trailer Trash Tracys, and just two of the many reasons to get excited about their upcoming debut LP.
