Trembling Blue Stars - Fast Trains And Telegraph Wires

Dream pop, what a genre.
Bliss, haunting, shivers, the notion that someone else had his heart broken too and you are not alone in this fucked up world that is all about youth. All in 3 minutes.

The Trembling Blue Stars have a new album just out called "Fast Trains And Telegraph". It has one song that is so immensely beautiful that makes you wish you never made all those mistakes in your small life that is not even enough for your self, let alone hurting others. It is called "In Arrivals" and you need to listen to it now, on repeat.






The album (which comes in 2 CDs with 18 songs) sounds so pefrectly 90s; if you want to find out what fragile indie folks were listening to 15 years ago, here you go. It couldn't get more original. And as a true album of the 90s, this one too is uneven. Some songs (In Arrivals, Cold Colours) are perfect pop diamonds (attention: 90s expression), while others are not up there. This was the norm in the 90s, but you had to buy the album to get these 2 good songs.
