Tracey Thorn Pops Her Head Up

The ever-bewitching Tracey Thorn has posted some new music to her MySpace page: the mournful “Overture,” on which Thorn’s rich alto sounds as clear as a bell, is a collaboration between her and the gloomy Hungarian trio The Unbending Trees that’ll appear on the band’s next album, Chemically Happy (Is The New Sad). Also, she’s collaborating with Jens Lekman for her follow-up to 2007’s outstanding Out Of The Woods, and here are the plans for it as of now: “there will be a guitar, and a mic, and jens with his laptop, and who knows what may come of it. a number one single possibly. or an obscure b-side. you don’t really have b-sides nowadays do you. pity really, they were always our best tracks.” Not that I didn’t love her last album, but the Magnetic Fields covers that she put out with the single for “Raise The Roof” definitely bear out that statement.
