Tracy Shedd
EP88
Eskimo Kiss Records
Tracy Shedd follows an impressive album called Cigarettes and Smoke Machines with an equally deft EP.
"How Your Eyes Affect Me" sees her singing in a lovely yet urgent voice to a soft melody that aligns her with early Suzanne Vega. "Tokyo Rose" is more up-tempo and
sees Shedd sigh, "It's so easy not to give yourself". It has a peculiar beauty all its own. "Husbands & Wives" closes
the EP on a good note, Shedd singing in her fashion about some interesting things to a soft backing. It's an astonishing EP and one that wets the appetite for more by
Shedd.
