Pre-Order: Railcard - Two Steps At A Time [CD]

Railcard formed in 2025 when Rachel Love (Dolly Mixture), Ian Button and Peter Momtchiloff (Heavenly) met at a gig, realized that they were the same age, and decided that this was an excellent reason to form a band. The shared history, the same pop references, the parallel lives... Railcard had to happen. The band made their live debut in December 2025 and had by then recruited their fourth member, Allison Thomson (Trash Can Sinatras, The Love Band), whose flawless trumpet and swirly keyboard-playing complete the Railcard sound. ""Two Steps At A Time"" - the album title and theme song - express exactly how quickly Railcard have worked since then - jumping over pavement cracks and whistling past graveyards to get these songs written, recorded and released while they are still sweet and fresh. The tunes range from delicate and swoony Bacharach-tinged soft-pop to raucous 'Girls In The Garage' workouts to 60s folk rock bangers to mesmerizing indiepop-meets-kosmiche chug. It's a wide-ranging pop vision informed by decades of combined pop fandom and creation - timeless, vital and, most importantly, a heck of a lot of fun.
