Indignation Meeting presents their second album, “A Model World,” released by Damaged Goods. The album delves into the niche world of railways and model railways, showcasing a unique theme rarely explored in music. As an enthusiast myself, the dedication to this subject matter is commendable, offering a refreshing perspective that resonates with fellow hobbyists.
Renowned figures like Neil Young, Rod Stewart, and Pete Waterman have also embraced their own railway setups, adding a layer of credibility to this unconventional musical journey. The collection of songs in this album, from the energetic “The Trainspotting Song” to the poignant “Just For the Record,” captures the essence of the railway world with a mix of nostalgia and innovation.
Similar to the acclaimed comedy series “Detectorists,” Indignation Meeting celebrates their passion for model railways with authenticity and humor. The band skillfully navigates the complexities and joys of this hobby, creating a musical experience that is both entertaining and informative. Throughout the album, there is a sense of dedication and craftsmanship that shines through each track.
Lead by Peter Hirst, who wears multiple hats as the songwriter, vocalist, drummer, trumpeter, and more, the band delivers a cohesive and engaging performance. Supported by Michael Hirst on guitar, Hugo Hatcher on bass, and guitarist Keith Tyndall, the band’s collective talent shines brightly. Particularly impressive is Peter’s youthful age, adding a layer of astonishment to the band’s achievements.
Listeners need not be avid train enthusiasts to appreciate the artistry and storytelling in “A Model World.” The album’s universal appeal lies in its ability to transport listeners to a world of creativity and passion, regardless of their familiarity with railways. Each track offers a glimpse into a unique subculture, inviting audiences to explore a realm they may not have considered before.
With the success of “A Model World,” Indignation Meeting has carved a distinctive niche in the music scene, blending musical talent with a niche interest to create a memorable listening experience.
