Trailer Trash Tracys

Lo-fi has been the hipsters default choice since garage rock. Today is no different. Drowning in technology, home made music can be pristine. Yet mp3s drift across the internet swathed in static and grit and rudimentary production.

A sign of authenticity or a sign of paucity?

A redundant question. What matters is the tune. "Candy Girl" is dripping in glorious melancholia, sniffs of scenes here, wafts of another there.

Beguiling is what it is, the snap of the snare, the echo of everything.

Yes a bit Jesus & Mary Chain, a bit Raincoats, a bit My Bloody Valentine, a bit Ronettes, a bit "Telstar".

Nothing new, but does it always have to be?
