My Glass World has unveiled a chilling new single, “Always Another Train”, as a precursor to their highly anticipated album, “Stranded Assets”. This track embodies the band’s signature blend of dark themes and captivating melodies, delving into a story that is as unsettling as it is intriguing. “Always Another Train” draws inspiration from the grim narrative of a German serial killer who lurked around railway stations, waiting for unsuspecting victims. The juxtaposition of this haunting tale with the life of silent film star Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle creates a multifaceted narrative. Arbuckle, known for his influence in early Hollywood, lends his name and legacy to a song that explores the darker aspects of fame and the human condition. As Jamie Telford, the band’s frontman, notes, “This is not a Christmas song”. Instead, it’s an exploration of shadows, both literal and metaphorical.
Musically, the single showcases My Glass World’s distinctive sound, featuring rich instrumentation that enhances the haunting atmosphere. The song opens with an eerie piano melody, setting a somber tone. As the track progresses, the addition of saxophone and woodwinds adds layers of depth, weaving through the narrative with both elegance and tension. Telford’s vocal delivery is magnetic, evoking a sense of urgency that draws listeners into the story. His expressive voice captures the anxiety and suspense embedded in the lyrics, making each line resonate deeply. The accompanying music video heightens the song’s impact, featuring archival footage of Arbuckle that complements the haunting narrative. This visual storytelling aligns perfectly with the song’s themes, merging history with the shadows of the past. The blend of these elements creates an unsettling atmosphere that lingers long after the song ends.
“Always Another Train” marks a bold step for My Glass World, following their successful album, “Assorted Marvels”, which showcased their eclectic sound and creativity. With “Stranded Assets” on the horizon, this single offers a glimpse into the band’s willingness to confront difficult themes while maintaining their signature artistry. In a world filled with superficial narratives, My Glass World reminds us that there’s often more beneath the surface. “Always Another Train” is not just a song, it’s an invitation to explore the darker corners of human experience, making it a compelling addition to their growing discography. The single is now available for streaming, and it promises to resonate with listeners who appreciate music that challenges and provokes thought.
