Underground Railroad have a double A-side out with '25' and 'NYC (Money Money)' taken from the album to fairly pointlessly fill out a load of precious, precious vinyl. I'll be kind and assume that this is aimed at people who might be interested in their album but don't want to shed out a load of wonga on the off chance that it's any good and would prefer instead to drop some pennies on a cheapy weep thing to get an idea then maybe they could flog it on eBay if they like it enough to buy the LP unless they like the sleeve which has got a picture of someone's face stuck inside a trumpet so they might want to keep it to put on their wall or something. I'm sure this is probably completely misleading but these two tracks remind me of a more toothless and annoying McLusky, indie rock that's a bit discordant and quirky. It's not bad or anything, just not great. 7" on One Little Indian.

The new double a-side features tracks lifted from their highly acclaimed recent album 'Sticks & Stones'; the woozy fuzz-bass lurch of '25' alongside the lacerating slow build of live highlight 'NYC (Money Money)'. The former sees guitarist Marion Andrau takes the lead vocal, Mura stepping into the hot seat for the latter.
This is the third single to be lifted from the band’s coming-of-age record, ‘Sticks And Stones’, which was recorded in Seattle at the dawn of the year with John Goodmanson (Death Cab For Cutie, Blood Brothers, and Sleater Kinney), and released to great acclaim earlier in the year.
