Wampire will release their debut album Curiosity on May 14 via Polyvinyl Records. I loved the album’s single “The Hearse”, and now Rolling Stone has premiered another cut.
It’s “Trains” a rollicking cut about been young and impressionistic about love while waiting for a delayed train. Eric Phipps of Wampire explains:
“Trains” was written during a time when I was young and overly idealistic about love. A lady was driving me wild with her strange affection and I was naively waiting for it to ‘mean something’ or whatever. When she finally skipped town, I was sitting on a train that was delayed for some reason or another and started humming the melody that later became “Trains.” By the time I got home I had the lyrics and rough skeletal structure of the song. ‘Girls are like trains – you’re always waiting for a chance to be let on just so you can hop off at the next stop.’
