EDEN RAIN TERRY AND JULIE

TMR favourite Eden Rain has returned with another fantastic single, this time in the form of ‘Terry and Julie’. Inspired by long train journeys and The Kinks’ ‘Waterloo Sunset’, Eden Rain has again proven her knack for detailed songwriting. “I took inspiration from one of my favourite songs ‘Waterloo Sunset’ and wrote about the Terry and Julie in it that meet at Waterloo station every Friday night,” she explains. “The idea sort of snowballed quite quickly… and I reimagined it as a sort of middle-aged crisis love affair where they’ve gone on to marry other people but they’re reconnected later in life and realising that they have feelings for each other.” This unique lyricism is held together by a deeply melodic piece of alt-pop that showcases lo-fi drum loops, distant guitar cells and effortless hooks. Her second EP drops soon. -Dan Peeke
