Railcard

Descripción

Foglights - Railcard formed in early 2025 when Rachel Love (Dolly Mixture) and Ian Button (Papernut Cambridge, The Penrose Web & more…) began writing songs together. Along with Peter Momtchiloff (Heavenly, Would-be-goods) on bass and Allison Thomson (Oldfield Youth Club, Heist, Trashcan Sinatras) on trumpet, the band have recorded a stack of material in a very short time. Their trio of eponymous EPs were released as a compilation by Skep Wax and Slumberland in January 2026, and in September there follows another album Two Steps At A Time, with twelve more songs, plus a run of UK gigs.Foglights (The new duo of Eva Cord and Stone Anthem) -Blending the dense psychedelia of Stone Anthem with the heartfelt indie pop of The Cords, the duo create immersive, folk-tinged soundscapes Railcard’s individual indie/pop DNA is easy to trace in the music - Love and Button’s songs mix up ingredients from their earlier projects, and Momtchiloff’s own songs bear his hallmark style. There are shared lead vocals, jangling guitars, sweet strings, organ and cool trumpet lines, plus a drive and punch from the rhythm section that steers into Motown, bubblegum pop/garage and more.This is perhaps what Stereolab would sound like if, accompanied by a TV show orchestra, they had to cover a "K-Tel's Greatest Unknown Hits of the 1960s and 1970s" compilation.- Pause-Record-PlayThe foursome shimmy seamlessly between hyper-melodic vintage King’s Road psychedelia…..featherlight lushness…..pop-exotica…..sublimely rubber-grooved glitterball-kosmisch……….and ‘70s kitsch curiosity.- Freq
