'To the East' was probably written during the World Cup,
with Electrelane's Verity Susman singing of "Walking
around in this flag waving town". It's a yearning tale of
train station romance. Try to forget those stale
sandwich's on sale and think instead of Brief Encounter...
"I saw you waiting for a train and then you disappeared,
face pressed up to the window". There's what sounds like
the dying strains of a church organ, lasting the course of
'To the East', adding gravitas. On the flip-side is
'Carolina Wren', an instrumental with bird-song that's a
cut above cheap mood music. The peaks and troughs of the
trumpet could be following the tempo of a bird at the
mercy of the wind.
