Our Take

Afflecks Palace's latest offering, "The Only Light in This Tunnel Is the Oncoming Train," is a dizzying display of kaleidoscopic soundscapes and infectious energy. The Manchester-based band has crafted a collection of tracks that seamlessly blend elements of indie rock, post-punk, and psychedelic pop, creating a whirlwind of sonic delights that will leave listeners spellbound. From the opening track, "Cityscape Dreams," which builds layer upon layer of swirling guitars and pulsating rhythms, to the hauntingly beautiful closer, "Fade into the Night," every moment of this album is a rollercoaster ride of emotions and sonic exploration. The band's dynamic range is on full display here, with lead singer Sarah's ethereal vocals soaring over the driving rhythms and shimmering guitars, creating an atmosphere that is both melancholic and euphoric. Standout tracks include the infectious "Mirrorball" with its catchy chorus and danceable groove, as well as the dreamy "Lost in Time" with its lush instrumentation and introspective lyrics. Each song on the album is a meticulously crafted work of art, with layers of intricate detail that reveal themselves upon each listen. Overall, "The Only Light in This Tunnel Is the Oncoming Train" is a triumph for Afflecks Palace, showcasing their innovation and creativity in the crowded indie music scene. This album is a must-listen for fans of bands like The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, and My Bloody Valentine. With this release, Afflecks Palace has solidified their place as one of the UK's most exciting up-and-coming bands.
