With lilting yet scrappy vocals and start and stop dynamics, TR!CKS might be excused for sounding like some kind of post-Riot Grrrl punk band. At least on “Place 2 Hide.” But the song’s surreal quality and sustained vocal warble in the last half of the song and the distorted guitar psychedelia that flares out at the end of the song enhances the air of something sinister in the lyrics. Do we hear the lines about “Place 2 Hide” end in the words “your body”? Either way it strikes a humorous and tone and the song reminiscent of a wonderful hybrid of Low On High, early Sleater-Kinney and Babes in Toyland’s more fanciful moments seems to embody the title of the band’s album Nightmares available now on cassette through Freeloader Records. Listen to “Place 2 Hide” on YouTube and follow TR!CKS on Spotify.
