Drive Train

الوصف

For their third studio album, The Dodge Brothers returned to Active Music on the South Coast where they recorded fifteen tracks in May and June of 2018. After the stripped-down ethos of The Sun Set, Drive Train presents a more ambitious cinematic landscape, with songs ranging from tender ballads to ragged rockabilly via piratical folk-tunes and drunken lullabies. Arrangements range from the single vocal and guitar of 'Waiting for Angels' to a battlefield of cannons and bagpipes on 'When I'm Gone'. Alongside fourteen original compositions, Drive Train also includes an arrangement of 'Oh Death', a longstanding Dodge Brothers live favourite. Guest musicians on DriveTrain include composer/TV presenter Neil Brand, who appears on 'Blaze', a tune developed while accompanying the silent film Hell's Hinges. Multi-instrumentalist Henry Priestman (The Yachts, The Christians) also appears on 'When I'm Gone'. DriveTrain was engineered by Martin Condon at Active Music, and produced by Aly Hirji.
