2AM

By cars & trains

  • #1 an abandoned city street
  • #2 flags
  • #3 broken streetlamp serenade
  • #4 the names of things and other such thoughts
  • #5 the official cars & trains theme song

cars & trains debut EP 2AM is a celebration of all things minute, exploring themes of urban quietude and reflection amidst disaffection, decay, and overdevelopment. The five songs that compose 2AM are abundant with layers of lush harmonies, strong but modest melody, crafted lyrics, and movement-based arrangements composed with an apartment-full of sounds: trumpet, clarinet, mandolin, cello, and glockenspiel, and a whole slew of electronic and sampled punching-empty-cardboard-boxes-like-a-madman drums.

...There's a sort of peacefulness to it, paired with a chaotic element that mirrors my mind's unruly creative process.
