Aria Jalali manages to retains the synth pop elements of his first ep, Cities vs. Submarines, on the new 12″ Cathedral With No Eyes (pre-order). What is added improves upon that template already laid to manifest itself as a dense, sonically packed experiment in noise.
Both of the ‘Passion of Saint Edmund’ tracks comprising the middle of the album particularly entrap listeners in that mesmerizing daze of sonic depth. But don’t think of Railcars as having gone experimental, Aria still arranges the same danceable pop songs that stick in your head for days.
Catch their live show which adds visuals, indescribable energy, and what appears to be a perennially botched cover of ‘Dreams’ by The Cranberries. Here’re some tunes.
Railcars – Passion of Saint Edmund (Miracles)
Railcars – Martyrdom of Saint Edmund (End)
The Cranberries – Dreams
