Penny Shears digs a warm and fuzzy groove on his newest tune “Tracy Ruth.” Mixed by all-time Swell Tone favorite Sam Evian and mastered by Heba Kadry, the song is “the personification of truth (T. Ruth).” Penny Shears gives truth an inviting glow with heat from the bounce of constantly traveling bassline and the gentle breeze of the sliding melody that reaches some impressive heights. From the swelling organ to the the backing vocals echoes of truth, it is the track’s subtlest psychedelic touches and fluttering textures that allow this malleable tune to flow seamlessly all the way through. For an artist that’s spent his last few years writing, performing, and living all over the US and internationally, this song is a remarkably grounded gem that begs for further repetitions.
Penny Shears’ debut album, Flower in the Shade, will be out on November 21st. While you eagerly await its arrival, listen to more from Penny Shears here.
