Tracy Shedd

Red (Teenbeat)
by Tim Den

Indie rock in that traditional, limber/humble/catchy way ala Versus and Frente!. No embellishments, just guitar/bass/drums (with some occasional violins) playing four chords every bar and topped off with meat-and-potatoes melodies (they sure don’t make ’em like this anymore). Tracy Shedd almost reminds me of Victory At Sea’s roomy aesthetics and what-you-see-is-what-you-get melodic approach, minus the thundering explosions, of course. Red will fit nicely next to your Rosie Thomas and Denison Witmer records.
