Tracey Thorn has been out of the spotlight for some time now. Beginning her career in 1982, shortly thereafter she joined the band Everything About the Girl. She’s made guest appearances with bands such as Massive Attack and Deep Dish. In 2000, she took some time off to raise her blossoming family, but began writing in 2005; Out of the Woods is the result. She reminds me of a modern age, relaxed version of Annie Lennox (same haircut though). This electronic-folk album is a musical trip for some tracks, while others allow for a gentle come-down without all of the incessant paranoia. It is an eclectic journey beginning with ‘Here It Comes Again (track 1) straight through to Raise the Roof (track 11). I enjoy her work, because Thorn savours each song

A

without being self-indulgent and losing the focus of each tune. This is a mood album: there will be some songs that are not appropriate for a coffee shop, but you may want to lose yourself on the dance floor. Then again, there are others that you could enjoy while sipping on your favourite brew, while staring blankly at the wall, deep in thought. Songs that have a serious beat to them are not to be outdone by the tracks with gentle piano accompaniment; the folk and electronic elements do not clash, but instead meet each other halfway and happily agree to be awesome. I am extremely glad that Tracey Thorn decided to venture Out of the Woods to give us this album. +;
