Description

Jill Tracy is both villainess and heroine of her own musical netherworld. The San Francisco-based artist has garnered multiple awards and a devoted following for her evocative cinematic music, sophisticated lyrics, old-world glamour, and curious passion for strange tales.

Hailed by critics as a "femme fatale for the thinking man," Tracy was described by NPR's All Things Considered as "utterly intriguing... luring you into a magical kingdom solely of her creation." LA Weekly calls her "very distinctive and exciting."

Her signature sound conjures up images of wonder cabinets, hidden passageways and opium dens. Of marvels, monsters, and mayhem. But at the same time, it's shockingly new. Jill Tracy coos in a voice of cut-velvet smoke, ornately framed by her dark trademark classical-cum-parlour piano, creating a world of opulence and danger, of magic and madness. As one critic put it: "You know it's not safe here; but with Jill Tracy as your guide, you'll be in no hurry to leave."

Backed by the Malcontent Orchestra, a lavish ensemble of strings, woodwinds, drums and percussion, Jill Tracy's music creeps its way under your skin in a tantalizing, yet delightfully unsettling fashion.

With her forays into filmmaking, writing, acting and theatre, Jill Tracy is redefining the image of modern day renaissance artist. But beneath her trademark sound and style lurks cold steel. No corporate-contrived cookie cutter blandness here. She is refreshing proof that smart... is sexy.

As leading lady of a lavish Grand Guignol theatrical revival, Jill Tracy recently graced the stage starring in Thrillpeddlers' "Welcome to the Hypnodrome," a collection of classic 1920s plays that were performed at the legendary Paris shockstage.

Her 2003 animated short film, The Fine Art of Poisoning (directed by Bill Domonkos) has won close to 30 national film festival awards this year alone, including being named one of the "Best Short Films of the Year" by both the New York City and Chicago Film Foundations.

Following the critical acclaim of her 1995 solo live album "Quintessentially Unreal," "Diabolical Streak' is Jill Tracy's first full-length studio album.


FROM THE PRESS:

"...positively poetic...Jill Tracy has made an exquisite, even luscious record with 'Diabolical Streak'...she wraps you with a smoky coo and as you soften under that sophisticated smirk you realize too late she's tied you to the third rail while the cobwebs descend and the seas fill with blood."
SF WEEKLY

"When you hear Jill Tracy's lush, sultry voice and experience the spooky melancholy of her lyrics, you're hooked...you can't escape the haunting and seductive powers of her macabre torch songs. As you listen, your will is no longer your own."
ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN

"I find Jill Tracy's music utterly intriguing...I love it!"
Susan Stamberg, host NPR's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED

Jill Tracy is unique - a soul out of its time; intriguing, intelligent, sensual, and just diabolical enough to make you wonder... she enchants and tempts with a delicious sense of danger... Whatever I say, doesn't even come close to describing this CD and its creator properly- it is THAT GOOD ... It's unfathomable to me that some major label hasn't picked her up yet and kissed her feet... or why a big film maker like David Lynch hasn't contracted her to do film scores."
STARVOX MAGAZINE

"Like a film noir femme fatale, Jill Tracy is gorgeous; ballerina thin and Victorian porcelain pale.....a stunningly hypnotic performer."
SF BAY GUARDIAN

"very distinctive and exciting...Jill Tracy sings with the kind of breathy intimacy that will fulfill your dreams of being tortured by beautiful women."
LA WEEKLY

"an elegant and mysterious siren"
VILLAGE VOICE

"Lyrically, Jill Tracy's work is every bit as naughty as the brainless, bombastic transgressions of the likes of Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit. But with her refined elegance and roots in jazz, film noir supper clubs and turn of the century circus sideshows, Tracy exemplifies a far more cosmopolitan approach to sin. Instead of raw angst, her music is full of smoldering cultivated grace, piquant with the hint of a sly smile. Her voice is alternately sweet and raspy, coyly curling around her macabre lyrics like wisps of smoke from the end of a long cigarette."
SHIFT MAGAZINE

"One must be careful of Jill Tracy. The pale and shadowy chanteuse quickly draws you in with her noirish compositions; her songs are eerie and enticing, clever and clawing, and replete with gothic glamour. The San Francisco-based New York migr' likes her fare dark and bloody, sprinkled with cabaret charm, old-time chamber ragtime chops and an almost overpowering sense of seductive gloom."
PACIFIC SUN

"You could get drawn in (or drawn and quartered) by Jill Tracy and her Malcontent Orchestra.....her elegant voice is a sultry moan, a breathy purr, a throaty siren's call... Jill Tracy has a spine-tingling signature sound...Extraordinary indeed."
