Today we’re going to feature “neo cabaret” singer/songwriter Jilll Tracy.
A sultry alto voice nevertheless evokes the ghost in your grandmother’s victrola. The music is alway elegant, yet always with a touch of sinister.
This first song is Evil Night Together. The song is great, but i must point out the video, a well done amateur effort which won the Best of Myspace Film Festival Award for Best Narrative Short Film, is not, you know, an “official” video from the artist.

Jill Tracy is based out of San Francisco and her band, who she’s played with for 10 years now, is called the Malcontent Orchestra. Something old, something new, something diabolical, something blue… here’s one of her more recent songs Haunted By The Thought Of You. (and side note, does she or does she not look like an EXACT cross between Annie Lennox and Carrie Fisher?)
