Synopsis
Album Description Los Angeles native Tracy Spuehler, whose radio hit "Where Do We Go?" went from airplay on L.A.'s influential KCRW-FM to viewers of national television via a Nissan commercial, has completed her second album, "It?s The Sound." The new album builds on the tradition of her 2001 solo debut, six three one, which was described by New Times as weaving "elements of Juliana Hatfield?s little-girl lilt, Aimee Mann?s confessional pop and Liz Phair?s indie-rock feistiness. But this native Angeleno puts so much of herself into the songs that her music winds up charmingly fresh and all her own." In this new collection of bittersweet, personal songs, Spuehler?s songwriting really shines. Combining a natural ability for writing pop hooks with vivid storytelling, her songs unfold like an Indie Rock Sex & the City. The title track, "It?s the Sound" is a celebration of the moment ? a sunny, carefree pop song. "At The Frank Black Show" floods the speaker with emotion over an ex she! thinks she sees in the crowd, while the Pixies frontman is performing. And "Time," which "moves in a different way," features synth programming courtesy of Sean Spuehler, Tracy?s brother, whose resume includes work with Madonna, R.E.M., Dido and Beck.

CD ReviewsDo you remember why we loved Pop Music? I do now! Richard L. Williams | Tampa, FL | 12/30/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I gotta tell you. Tracy sings some of the most beautiful pop music I have ever heard. It is like she rediscovered a lost art. I just purchased 2 of her CD's. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy them. Her music is so refreshing. It just makes me feel so good!! I adore her writing. I think it would be fair to say "a young budding Carole King""
