New Single - Retro-phobe Available 26th Jan
Hot on the heels of their surprise Top 3 hit Be Happy, Daniel Takes A Train are pleased to announce the release their brand new single Retro-phobe.
With tongue in cheek references to new and old technology, Retro-phobe is synth poppy blast of fresh air that explores the generational wars whilst urging listeners of all ages to simply hit the dance floor: “When the band strikes up their tune, it’s your time!”
Be Happy, which has achieved almost 20,000 Spotify strreams and a coveted Top 3 position in DJ Mike Read’s Heritage Chart (UK), where it has been for seven consecutive weeks, at long last put the band alongside their 80’s heroes such as Lloyd Cole and Madness. “We’ve always wanted to be in the same chart as Duran Duran and Kajagoogoo. Now we’re now ahead of them!” said guitarist Dan in a recent interview with ITV news.
With its studio production reminiscent of ABC’s classic Lexicon of Love and forthcoming promo video which casts the band as ballroom entertainers, Retro-phobe is expected to introduce even more followers to this underrated outfit who have been going on and off since the mid-1980’s. With two albums already behind them since reforming in 2018, it seems there is no stopping Daniel Takes A Train!
