Albums of the Year - 2019

The Rails, formerly known as Dead Flamingoes, is an exciting and talented musical duo. With a unique blend of folk, rock, and indie influences, they have created a sound that is both captivating and soulful. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Aunt Ange and Ashley Lennon Thomas, The Rails have carved out their own niche in the music industry.

Known for their heartfelt lyrics and mesmerizing melodies, The Rails have gained a dedicated following of fans who are drawn to their authentic and raw approach to music. Their performances are filled with energy and emotion, leaving audiences wanting more.

With a discography that includes albums like "Sumkid" and "Echodeck", The Rails continue to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. They have collaborated with notable artists such as Alexander Hamilton and Tighty Willis & The Friends Forever Band, further solidifying their place in the industry.

There’s something different about The Rails on their brilliant third album. It’s not just the sound of the record, which is harder, tougher and rockier than ever before. Cancel The Sun is melodic and immediate, a record that brings together the musical pasts of Kami Thompson and James Walbourne – her family heritage, as the daughter of Linda and Richard Thompson, and sister of Teddy; his as guitarist for Son Volt, The Pogues and The Pretenders – in a record that sounds like a pure version of themselves. You could spend hours casting around for a term to describe it, but maybe the best one would be pinched from an Eliza Carthy album title: Anglicana – music that might originate in America, but is clearly and resolutely English.
