The Traces
>> While We Fall
The white casing, the plain white cd… what to expect? The mystery was too much so I headed to the website (www.thetraces.net) where all was revealed. The Traces are continuing this month’s theme of well-crafted eps with a solid Joy Division / Interpol / Verve view of guitar brilliance. The three tracks here are all pretty top notch; ‘Calling All’ grabs you but then you fall for ‘The Other One’ and feel like you’re two timing! A short and snappy cd that, at eleven minutes, leaves you wanting maybe one more track – the sneaky blighters know how to play the game. In any case The Traces do not, as the name implies, leave a wispy outline on an existing template – they have a beating heart and a blueprint of their own.
