Last Train Home
Track 1 - Last Good Kiss
After plying their trade for the last decade in the Washington, D.C., area, where singer/guitarist Eric Brace once wrote for The Washington Post, alt-country rockers Last Train Home now call Nashville home. The band’s latest release is sure to keep the band on the road and far from home for a while. Complete with moody and sultry songwriting, atmospheric guitar chords, driving rhythms, and lots of reverb and feedback, “Last Good Kiss” casts a net of wide appeal. The title track kicks the album off with a roar and then flowingly segues into “Flood,” where Brace’s soulful vocals draw a metaphorical parallel between love and a rising tide. Mellower moments include “Anywhere But Here,” a smooth, country-esque ode to getting out of town and out of love, and “Go Now,” which centers around Jen Gunderman’s subtle piano work. “I’m Coming Home” just might be the best love song I have heard in a long time. Like the rest of the album, it just resonates with me.
