Shoegaze don't come much better than Trailer Trash Tracys.
Trailer Trash Tracys – aka Suzanne Aztoria, Jimmy Lee, Adam Jaffrey and Dayo James – rose to prominence with the spiralling debut ‘Candy Girl/ You Wish You Were Red’, which went on to be championed by the likes of the Guardian and Dazed and Confused.So in the quoted bio no mention of Shoegaze! Huh, certainly sounds like it to me.
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.
But then I'm a novice in this genre. Either way very compelling music, with the right promotion they could be breaking it big with their new album.
Check 'em out.
