Idlewild

Literate, jazz-tinted pop. Tracey Thorn's steady alto navigates themes of English identity and domestic longing over warm, acoustic arrangements.

It's the ultimate 'rainy Sunday in a quiet house' record for people who appreciate a good trumpet solo.

A gentle, literate exploration of domesticity and longing wrapped in warm acoustic textures.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the lonely trumpet melody drifts through the opening of Love Is Here Where I Live like smoke in a small room.
The sudden, sharp pang of homesickness in Lonesome for a Place I Know when the lyrics pivot from Italian sun to English hedgerows.
The delicate, almost fragile piano phrasing on The Night I Heard Caruso Sing that feels like a private recital.
