“Contains enough vivid psych-rock/shoegaze bangers to trigger an early Guy Fawkes night. 4/5 stars”
– The Irish Times
“…a musical memoir honouring teenage German backpacker Inga Maria Hauser, tragically murdered in Northern Ireland in April 1988 during her first solo adventure, set against a soundscape of indie rock, shoegaze, dreampop, post-punk, ambient electronica, and pastoral psychedelia—an emotional journey that bridges 1988 and today”
– Loud Women
“KEELEY’s most immersive and alluring work to date. These 12 tracks succeed both as a powerful musical statement and as an act of memorial, packing depth both in its lyricism and admirable musicality. 8.5/10”
– Backseat Mafia
Dream-rock trio KEELEY, fresh from their recent UK headline tour, present the latest video from their acclaimed third album ‘Girl On The Edge Of The World’.
“Trains and Daydreams” features a rousing backing vocal from special guest Simon “Sice” Rowbottom, singer of Brit-Pop heroes The Boo Radleys, a band much admired by the KEELEY camp, and with whom the band has toured in the UK. The video was filmed and directed by Glasgow-based film-maker Laura Meek using vintage VHS techniques, and the results are both dream-like and visually sumptuous.
Singer and songwriter Keeley Moss notes… “this is the most out-and-out pop song on the new album, it possesses an ethereal dreaminess but also a biting fuzziness and a pure pop melodic buoyancy in addition to a bittersweet poignancy. The song tells the story of my muse Inga Maria Hauser on her first train journey in England in late-March 1988 when she travelled from Harwich International Port to London”.
