Home > Music > EP and Single reviews > Trailer Trash Tracys, Wish You Were Red / Engelhardt's Arizona review
Wish You Were Red is cued up with stripped back beats before a bold and excellently simple bass refrain spills on the track that sounds like it took more than a bit of inspiration from Baba O'Riley by The Who. Complexities flood the rest of the song in bits and pieces (not the Dave Clarke Five variety) and Aztoria's vocals are angelic and mesmerising, sounding like a female Jim Reid, although Karen Parker might be a better comparison.
Engelhardt's Arizona is much less instantly gratifying, but seems to hit you enough about half way through to make sense. It's got a blitzingly rapid arpeggio riff stroking throughout, of the Anna Calvi on Joan of Arc variety, but without the ease of style. However, come about 2.09 and definitely by 2.27 it gets more and more likeable, but by 3.27 you realise that there's a lot to take in.
The Wish You Were Red / Engelhardt's Arizona double A side single will be released on the 31st October 2011.
