   emscee says Coming out March 5, in the U.K., at least. Here's the review/preview from Amazon UK: Out Of The Woods is the first solo album from Tracey Thorn for over two decades. The Great British public probably know Thorn best as the voice of Everything But The Girl's 'Missing', the Todd Terry mix of which hit No.3 in 1994 and hung around in the Billboard Top 100 for over a year. That huge hit, however, is somewhat deceptive in the context of Thorne and her partner, Ben Watt's 25-year career. Out Of The Woods, like much Everything But The Girl before it, is a set of torch-songs versed in the production techniques of clubland, but shot through with a melancholy soul more familiar to jazz or folk-rock – or, indeed, cosmic disco pioneer Arthur Russell, whose 'Get Around To It' Thorne covers here, and all but makes it her own. Lyrically, events hint at a certain domesticity: 'Nowhere Near' is a delicate song about motherhood sung over shimmering synths, piano, and pipes, while 'Hands Up To The Ceiling' seems to be about finding sanctuary in a record collection, Thorne sneaking to an attic to spin "Siouxsie Sioux, and Edwin too/ Bobby D, in '63". Those eager for Thorn to reprise 'Missing', however, maybe be satisfied by 'Grand Canyon' and the closing 'Raise The Roof', two potential club hits in the waiting. –-Louis Pattison
