Train Room ‘Hurricane Of Love’

Train Room has released his new single ‘Hurricane Of Love’. Train Room is the brainchild of Co Mayo songwriter, musician and producer Joe Monaghan. He recorded the new single in recent Isolation. The song ‘ Hurricane of Love’ was recorded on St Patricks day in Mayo and mastered by Aidan Foley. 

With its lo-fi hazy atmosphere, driving bassline and retro organ elements, ‘Hurricane Of Love’ displays the tightly weaved musicianship of Train Room. Warm jangly guitar drifts through the bouncy upbeat soundscape as Monaghan builds and layers the song superbly. The chiming keys teamed with the steady beat and smooth vocals create a psychedelic sedative effect that wisps with a soft feathery lightness and elastic buoyancy as the song glides to its catchy chorus. With the infectious bass groove and humid guitars adding an indie punch, Monaghan has crafted one mesmerising addictive gem.
