Renowned for her work as part of legendary alt-pop duo Everything But The Girl (1982-2000), Tracey Thorn returns with her starkly beautiful new solo album, 'Love and Its Opposite on partner Ben Watt's Strange Feeling label. Produced by Berlin's Ewan Pearson (Delphic, Goldfrapp, The Rapture, M83) and featuring guest appearances from Al Doyle (Hot Chip), Leo Taylor (The Invisible), Jens Lekman, Cortney Tidwell and Jono Ma (Lost Valentinos); the album confronts the full unvarnished weight of complex relationships in flux. Covers of Lee Hazlewood's "Come On Home To Me" (a duet with Jens Lekman) and "You Are A Lover" by Budapest's The Unbending Trees (with whom Tracey collaborated in 2008) are added to eight originals that tackle head-on the realities of life in its middle years. Backtracking, it is hard to find a decade recently where Tracey Thorn's songwriting has not been influential. Often overlooked by those who choose to focus on her uniquely sensual yet confessional voice, her direct, unadorned stories have cut through to find many revered supporters, along the way collaborating on classics with Massive Attack and Deep Dish.
