The Railway Prince Hotel is the seventh studio album by American band Tullycraft, released by Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records in February 2019. The album had a modestly different sound than the band's previous releases, somewhat due to the fact that long-time drummer (and original Tullycraft member) Jeff Fell, did not make an appearance on the album, but also because of the new approach the members of the band took to the recording process. Much of the album was improvised during the recording sessions. This was an untried approach for Tullycraft. Equipped with lyrics and vocal melodies (provided by Tollefson) the band composed many of the new songs from the ground up in the studio.
Most of the album was recorded and mixed by Pete Remine at Dubtrain Studio in Seattle, Washington. Four of the tracks were mixed by Larry Crane at Jackpot! Studio in Portland, Oregon.
Reception
A review by Rich Quinlan in Jersey Beat says "having been immersed in college radio in the mid-90s, I did become aware of the twee and cuddlecore movements," continuing "incredibly, more than twenty years later, this Seattle outfit continues to hang on to their collective innocence, blending the most pop-friendly tempos and sprinkling in lighthearted, sentimental lyrics that point out the most minute of details with good natured sarcasm."
