Train New Album
Pat Monahan of Train spent much of his Mermaids of Alcatraz Tour last year working on new songs for the band's seventh studio album. That release, titled Bulletproof Picasso, will see the light of day on Sept. 16.
In an interview with New York's Fresh 102.7 (a CBS Radio station), Monahan and bandmate Jimmy Stafford opened up about the 12-track release and the album's lead single "Angel In Blue Jeans." "Subconsciously, everything romantic that I write lyrically would be about my wife since she is such a lovely part of my life," Monahan said.
En una entrevista con 102,7 (una estación de CBS Radio) de Nueva York, Monahan y compañero de banda Jimmy Stafford abrió sobre la liberación de 12 canciones y primer sencillo del álbum "Angel In Blue Jeans". "Inconscientemente, todo lo romántico que escribo líricamente sería de mi esposa ya que ella es una parte tan hermosa de mi vida", dijo Monahan.
This can be seen on the band's latest release and especially on new single "Angel In Blue Jeans." While last year, Monahan told Radio.com admitted the song title sounds a bit country, it's not a country song. "The song is literally about dreaming about trying to find that woman that did a magical thing to you and then you wake up from the dream at the end and you're laying next to her. And then you can relax," Monahan explained.
The video for the song, however, takes a drastic turn. It premiered on VEVO in July and features actors Danny Trejo (Desperado, Heat, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad) and Hannah Simone (New Girl). They portray people living in a Wild West-like world who start a gun fight with the band.
Having released six previous albums, Stafford told Fresh 102.7 that this album takes the cake. "The 11 other singles on the record are all unique," he asserted. "In my opinion, this is our best collection of songs that we've ever put on one record. It's really great writing, really great melody. Overall, I think it's our best work."
Después de haber lanzado seis álbumes anteriores, Stafford dijo Fresh 102.7 que este álbum se lleva la palma. "Los otros 11 singles en el registro son únicos", ha aseverado. "En mi opinión, esta es nuestra mejor colección de canciones que nunca hemos puesto en un registro. Es realmente genial escrito, realmente gran melodía. En general, creo que es nuestro mejor trabajo."
