I Often Dream of Trains

by Robyn Hitchcock

I Often Dream of Trains cover art

Robyn Hitchcock's stripped-down acoustic album marks a deeply intimate, surreal departure from his full-band psychedelic pop output. Driven by his eccentric, highly literate songwriting and delicate piano and guitar work, the record explores themes of autumn, nostalgia, and peculiar English landscapes. It remains a highly melodic, melancholic, and deeply idiosyncratic masterpiece of alternative folk.
