Fast Trains and Telegraph Wires

the eleven songs that make up 'fast trains and telegraph wires' and the seven that are included on the ep 'cicely tonight volume one' (hence giving this fantastic release the form of a double cd) are really one of the most incredible pieces of work published so far by trembling blue stars. marvels like 'cold colours' (one of their best singles in many years) and 'all our tomorrows' find trembling blue stars more intense, organic and spirited than we've heard them up to now, while songs like 'frosting', 'half-light' and 'the dark world of the broken' give us the more detailed, subtle, melancholy side of the band, one of their trademarks.
