Free Music Review: Raw and Honest
Hit: 5 Stars
Just when the inimitable EBTG was forming, and in between her all-girl indie band Marine Girls sessions, Tracey Thorn found time to churn out a mini set of acoustic songs in 1982; just her voice and a guitar, and the end result is a charmingly timeless album that became the much-loved bedsit torch songstress's debut album. Her follow-up solo album "Out of the Woods" would only come 25 years later, and it would seem like a whole different genre of electronic 80s dance pop throwback, the total antithesis of "A Distant Shore".
The songs on this album flow seamlessly from one to another, almost seguing into each other to form a dreamy landscape that befits the artwork of Tracey sitting pensively on a deckchair, staring into the distance. All the songs are marvellous, but highlights include "Plain Sailing", the misnomer "Too Happy" and the tragic-sounding Lou Reed cover "Femme Fatale".
The recording is raw and unadorned, and Thorn's voice is even to the point of being unemotional, but behind that, one can picture a young girl who's both a little awed by the newness of the world and equal parts jaded and cynical like a teenager would be. There are no shouts or loud hollers in this album, but the breezy feel of the album is anything but light and fluffy.
