Aussie new-wave/80s alt-pop/synth artist Web Rumors (aka Em Burrows) has shared her new single "Northern Service", and its accompanying music video.
Inspired by the sounds of 70s/80s proto synth pop and the repetitive chugging of a train on the tracks, Northern Service features the iconic UK Rail announcements of Celia Drummond (Humphris) formerly of Trees.
The track is a tribute to her gentle lilting voice which can be heard on trains and platforms throughout the UK.
“I have always been a huge fan of Celia Humphris as the singer with Trees but never realized she was also responsible for the train announcements in England!” Burrows explains.
“Her voice is iconic. It is lilting, affirming and clear – exactly what you want to hear when you’re travelling. When I stumbled across some samples of her announcements I couldn’t help but use them in a track. It ended up being a tribute to her really.” she adds.
