Trixies is a long-lost chapter in the Squeeze story, written by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook when they were just 19 and 16, at the very start of their songwriting partnership. Conceived in the era of concept albums and rock operas, it was shelved as punk arrived and might otherwise have been the band's first album, so hearing it now offers a fascinating glimpse of Squeeze before they became Squeeze.
The songs are a collection of stories set in a fictional nightclub, delivered in a theatrical, 1970s-flavored style with prominent harpsichord and other touches that recall Bowie, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Sparks and Supertramp. The tracks are short and sharp, and the early traces of Difford and Tilbrook's gift for melody and character-driven storytelling are already unmistakable.
