Trailer Trash Tracys, “Strangling Good Guys” MP3
- story Peter Macia
If the only thing you ever found lacking in classic shoegaze was a thudding drumbeat, then “Strangling Good Guys” will be the song of your weekend. Scott Wright first tipped Trailer Trash Tracys in his Dollars To Pounds blog back in August, and we added them instantly to a playlist with Fuck Buttons as bands with regrettable names and unrelenting jams. TTT just released their first single on No Pain In Pop, which you can pick up here and will be playing a ton of shows with The XX in the UK this month.

Dollars To Pounds: Trailer Trash Tracys
- story Scott Wright
“Opposites Attract” by Paula Abdul may have been about her ill-advised, zoophilic flirtation with a denim-clad cartoon cat, but the song’s sentiment, that ying plus yang equals awesome, remains unsullied. Take Trailer Trash Tracys. Like a tidal wave and an ice sculpture, Jimmy-Lee’s reverb bombast and Susanne Aztoria’s fragile coos shouldn’t get along, but the combination ends up both potent and poignant. Here is the demo of their epic new Spector-goes-shoegaze single, “Candy Girl”. I spoke to them about Twin Peaks and New Edition and stadium rock.
