REVIEW

"Tracy Shedd says in the first song: "you can stay up all night and talk about it/or you can just play your guitar". She sounds a bit like Liz Phair with the ambient vocals of Miki Berenyi or Tanya Connely with the same kind of bounce and attitude that groups like Belly and The Breeders have. Cigarette & Smoke Machines easily fits in with many female indie rock artists, and while it might sound lazy to say Shedd sounds pleasant, she does without becoming unsettling. She has one of those silky voices that, at least from a male perspective, I enjoy hearing, it's pleasing to me. But a nice voice cannot make bad songs sound decent, fortunately Shedd doesn't have any terrible songs. The album could easily be the kind of thing Gabby Glaser would do on her own album, but this is Shedd's album and here she sings about dreams, hopes, life, the world, and anything and everything under the sun without making any grandiose statements. Or if there are statements to be made, it's in the music and how one feels after hearing it. It sounds like accomplishment, and one hopes she will not make this her final statement. More Shedd for everyone."
- John Book, The Run-Off Groove
