Listen to “Atlantic” - New Single From Justin Tracy
Justin Tracy has just released a gorgeous new single, “Atlantic.” Dark, beautiful and stripped to it’s essence. Tracy hits a new high with this one.
From the press release: “Upon leaving his fathers funeral in England and returning home to Upstate New York, Tracy reflects on the mystique of fatherhood and the legacy of sons.”
British Folk Singer Justin Tracy’s recent record Five Fathoms, is an introspective journey inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Employing folklore & ancient symbolism, Tracy weaves a tale & sonic tapestry reminiscent of legendary folk luminaries like Nick Drake & John Martyn & Bert Jansch. Steeped in tradition & craft, Tracy navigates the murky waters of family & fatherhood, life & death on the way to self discovery.
Although it may seem Tracy has materialized out of thin air, he has spent his life honing his skill & sound. First in & around London as a working musician then as a record producer in NYC. Still in search of a vibe, Tracy traveled to India & Bangladesh to record with classical musicians (Nilesh Jadhav; Gandhar Deshpande) for his first two releases: the sublime Bangla Motor & the psychedelic & joyous Mumbai Night. In theses records you hear the cultivation of Tracy’s unique, intricate guitar work & his delicate vocal style.
