The A Train - Don't Have Far To Go [Single]

The A Train - Don't Have Far To Go [Single]

Vantage Room

They do always say "never judge a book by it's cover" - and that is definitely the case with The A Train. A completely unexpected sound seemed to hum through the air as expectancies of death metal where to be soley shunted by tree melody forest pop. It's almost as if Fleet Foxes embedded themselves onto 'Don't Have Far To Go.' A layed back warm approach to vocal delivery - although at times it does sound like your dad has grabbed the mic at the local stress clinic (public house).

It has "ooooh's," repetition and simple songwriting written all over it. Nothing special at all conventionally, but The A Train do have a niche charm tucked away in there somewhere. The vocal talent of Dan Mckean is very doubtful at times, but he somehow wins you back with his charm. Some helpful harmonies give your ears a run for your money throughout 'Don't Have Far To Go.'

A lot of work needs to be put into The A Train before anything special happens for them, but the important thing to note is they do actually have some talent buried in there somewhere. Obviously you have to note that the BBC have already put their muddy paws all over them tagging them with the introducing stamp... how lame.
