TRAILER TRASH TRACYS - ESTER (LP)

Trailer Trash Tracys Ester on LP + Download Card

Inhabiting their own beautifully dark, ethereal corner of the musical universe, poised somewhere at the crossroads between the nocturnal, rolling soundscapes of Angelo Badalamenti and the sublime, naive melodies of '50s pop, Trailer Trash Tracys are a deliciously unique proposition.

Recorded by the band themselves on a “solfeggio scale,” a scale to which, apparently, western guitars and pianos are not pitched to, Ester is an ambitious achievement that marries an experimental urge with a love for the standards and classics of pop eternal.

The freeform intro “Rolling - Kiss The Universe” leads us into Trailer Trash Tracys’ own otherworldly sonic space in which their ideas play freely. Deep and hazy sonic textures drift around singer Suzanne Aztoria’s gossamer light vocals, which sound as though they were beamed from another dimension, evoking a sensual, yet unnerving tension.

The album progresses to reveal ever expanding possibilities, running the gamut from the spiraling guitar shreds of “Engelhardt’s Arizona” to the gloriously seductive and brooding pop of “You Wish You Were Red,” out to the delicate, pinprick orchestrations of “Starlatine.” The smoldering slow-burn of “Turkish Heights,” meanwhile, closes the album in poignant style, romantic, dreamy and sincere, revealing a tender heart beating indelibly inside the machine.

With Ester, the inimitable world of Trailer Trash Tracys is brought to haunting, vivid life,  a little off-kilter, a little askew, but nothing less than utterly beguiling and completely memorable.
