On the surface, Follow the Train’s full-length debut has it all. The production is sumptuous, and the skilled musicians frequently create gorgeous, yearning passages. Even the cover is vaguely arty and aesthetically pleasing. Scratching a little deeper, however, I found ordinary lyrics, sometimes painfully so, and little else that generates much excitement.

The debut release from the Birmingham based band Una Corda is not as great as I thought it would be. A clinical production divests the group of their presence. Nevertheless the talent underneath is still evident despite some of their mojo going missing in the mix.
