Album lore

Diabolical Streak, issued in 1999 on 125 Records, collects ten tracks from Jill Tracy’s early foray into dark cabaret. The record’s tenebrous arrangements and Tracy’s theatrical vocals conjure a noirish atmosphere, aligning with the late ’90s underground cabaret scene. Tracks like “Evil Night Together” and “The Fine Art of Poisoning” layer piano, strings, and subtle electronics to evoke a mood both sinister and intimate.The album’s production favors a restrained palette, allowing Tracy’s voice to command attention amid shadowy accompaniments. With its gothic-inflected storytelling and vintage cabaret influences, Diabolical Streak remains a discreet artifact for those tracing the lineage of dark cabaret as it emerged from the margins in the pre-millennial era.
