Tracey's new single "sleazy" is a glitchy, toy-box fever dream

Following their self-titled debut EP, the anonymous London collective Tracey return with "sleazy" – and it's everything we hoped for, plus a little more weird.

Allegedly written from the perspective of a doormat (yes, really), the track takes the banality of an everyday object and spins it into a surreal playground of digital distortion. It’s genius in its strangeness.

Built on naïve pop sensibilities, "sleazy" has a DIY toy-box charm. A plastic synth line, seemingly lifted from a kid’s keyboard, plays against a weighty dubstep beat, creating a deliberate dissonance. Warped, robotic vocals chant over the top, offering melodies that feel oxymoronic: both catchy and uncanny. The whole thing is glittered with nostalgic 2000s-era sound effects, whistles, bubbles, message pings, in a track that gleefully ignores the rules.

"sleazy" plays like an episode of Black Mirror set inside a glitchy game show. It’s self-consciously artificial, self-aware but silly, familiar yet completely in its own lane.

And somehow, Tracey’s anonymity only adds to the skewed universe they’re building. We just want more.
