The railway

"As the railway line follows the Spey, this album walks in the steps of Napier's previous one, The River; but a more mature and distinctive style and a more complex architecture of harmonies emerge, making The Railway an even more enjoyable listen ... The Railway stands up next to more established train-related albums, especially ones from North America, and is more than equal to them. Knowing this is only the second instalment of his pentalogy, with the following albums to be released between 2020 and 2024, we cannot wait to be taken again to Napier's native valley to taste again its atmosphere thanks to his inventive and evocative compositions".
