Overview:
I Often Dream Of Trains (1995) by Robyn Hitchcock is a haunting and intimate collection of alternative rock, blending acoustic charm with surrealistic lyricism. With a career rooted in the underground and indie rock scenes, Hitchcock delivers a tender, introspective experience that oscillates between whimsy and melancholy. Tracks like "Sometimes I Wish I Was A Pretty Girl," "Uncorrected Personality Traits," and "My Favourite Buildings" explore themes of identity, love, and existential reflection, all underscored by Hitchcock's signature blend of folk-inspired instrumentation and quirky storytelling. The reissue also includes bonus demos that offer a raw and unpolished look at these songs in their early stages.
