The Choo Choo Trains' new EP (7" on Manic Pop! Records or digital download) is out now and is full of straight forward but tweely effective 50s and 60s melodies. Opener "Save me" is easy and relaxed, there is no urgency in The Choo Choo Trains music but plenty of sweetness and a fragile beauty in every tune. "The most beautiful boy" has more of a retro surf or 60s garage vibe. "Futile" has a rock and roll melody driven by keyboards and is fantastic. The best track though all of the tracks are great.
"Breezy iz" is a melancholic instrumental and meanders off into a dreamy twangy soundscape. Finally "No. 38 to your heart" is a little more urgent in tempo but no less dreamy. Probably the most beautiful song you'll hear for a long time. So much to enjoy and i managed to avoid any train puns too!
