For if ever there was a new band that straddled the line between darkness and light, of dissonance and melody, there is Trailer Trash Tracys. Hailing from London, the band – consisting of vocalist Suzanne Aztoria, guitarist Jimmy-Lee, bassist Adam Jaffrey and drummer Dayo James – create discordantly beautiful, dreamily fragile music which always seems to be hovering perpetually on the brink of collapse. Absorbing everything from the woozy atmospherics of shoegaze to even the SoCal surf pop of Dick Dale and the Shadows, the band conjures a lo-fi maelstrom of duelling contrasts like no other. The real rub, however, comes with Suzanne’s vocals, which sound like ghostly transmissions from another metaphysical plane, all ethereal angel sighs which seem to settle on the music like a fog at dusk. The overall effect is a bewitching one, as they twist 50’s pop conventions inside out on “Candy Girl”, and somehow channel the spirits of both Nico and Joe Meek simultaneously on the starkly beautiful love song “You Wish You Were Red”. Their debut album is due summer 2011.
