Tram - Heavy Black Frame (1999)


Total sad-sack slowcore from a relatively short-lived, London-based duo. Songs of heartbreak, self-doubt, anxiety, and the occasional glimmer of hope, with warm, rich instrumentation courtesy of a handful of collaborators that includes producer/unofficial third member Clive Painter and Bill Lloyd of Placebo. It's making me feel a little better about having woken up about 2 hours too early and sunrise not being for another hour.

Track listing:
1. Nothing Left to Say
2. Expectations
3. Too Scared to Sleep
4. Like Clockwork
5. Home
6. I've Been Here Once Before
7. High Ground
8. When It's All Over
9. Reason Why
10. You Can Go Now (If You Want)

Who's gonna catch me the way you used to?
