Another dose of moody garage psych comes from Athens, Greece, where Weeping Mist recorded their sophomore album This Train Goes To Sorrow. With this solo project, Yesterday’s Thoughts’ guitarist Spiros Megedisidis delivers sixteen(!) new original songs that are full of emotions. A look at the song titles makes it clear that this concerns dark matter, the accompanying lyrics put an exclamation mark behind that finding, with loneliness as a recurring theme. Yet it’s a wonderful listening experience, thanks to the hypnotic melodies and 60s-inspired sound full of fuzz, with amazing, distinctive vocals – gritty and heartfelt – in the center of attention. Goosebumps, but I’m not sure if that comes from admiration or fearfulness.
This Train Goes To Sorrow is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Tymemachine Productions ’67. Featuring Spiros Megedisidis (vocals, guitars, farfisa, bass) and Giorgos Vagiatlakis (drums). The new album literally continues from where debut album Lonely Streets had stopped. I quote: “You see, at the very end of that Lonely Street, there was an old train station. Just one platform in use, a few old wooden wagons, and a black rusty locomotive engine. The engine steam gets tangled up with the darkness and the blurry wet fog, creating a mysterious mist, a mist that weeps, a Weeping Mist… 16 stops… until the train reaches its destination, deep inside The Forest of Black, deep inside your soul.”
