Wonderdust by Lizzie Flynn & The Runaway Trains

It’s my birthday and there’s a party going on here
Handholding but I’m, just holding onto my beer
I’m not trying to think too hard, I don’t want to think too much
‘bout the last time I saw you, and the way we…

While this album by Lizzie Flynn & The Runaway Trains, is her first with this combination of musicians, it is the fourth album that she has released overall, and a rich culmination of her experience as a
songwriter and performer.

Lovers of acoustic music will appreciate how the musicians on this album have the talent to casually walk across the stepping stones of multiple genres such as Celtic folk, bluegrass, and beyond – with
songs like title-track single Wonderdust, or the achingly good Possibility, being dubbed as upbeat radio-friendly folk-pop.

This is an album for listeners who love strong melodies with earnest lyrics, but it is also an album for musicians, for songwriters, and for those who appreciate the efforts of arrangements that can evoke
emotions. The song Detours is a metaphor in dreamy arrangements, as the open-tuned guitar and narrator invite you to steer clear of the usual routes and follow the ‘dirtiest road with the best view’…

Lizzie Flynn (www.lizzieflynn.com ) who is the primary songwriter and vocalist, and The Runaway Trains, Samuel De Santi (guitar, mandolin) Gareth Mewes (Violin) and Benja King (Double Bass), have been
performing together for a few years leading up to this recording.

And be sure not to miss the final track where The Runaway Trains feature on ‘Aurora to the South’, which was written especially for this album by Samuel De Santi and Gareth Mewes.

For this recording, you will also hear the exquisite backing vocals arranged and sung by Lisa Brennan.

…Touch is like a drug, you’re my wonderdust
Inhale all your beauty, and the sky lights up
