2020 sees the year musician, DJ and producer Rob Smith will follow up with The Swedish Railway Orchestra's third album.
Dublin electronic outfit The Swedish Railway Orchestra have released their brand new single alongside a beautifully-shot city centre set video for the track, titled 'There's Too Much Love'.
The song is the fifth and final single from the self titled third album - the proceeds of which, the group's frontman Rob Smith has pledged will be going to Ireland's frontline healthcare workers.
The video for the single was directed by Barry Finnegan, and shows Dublin fair city with a more barren atmosphere as a result of the current Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
Smith released tested the waters with a Belearic-inspired instrumental electronic piece called 'Northern Lights' and followed it up with 'Late Night' back in 2016.
The following year, the Dubliner made things a little less instrumental with the singles 'I Don't See Any Daylight Anymore' and 'Time', both of which gathered considerable press and airplay.
The Swedish Railway Orchestra dropped their debut album This Is A Dream in September 2017 to critical acclaim.

"It's not really a live band," Rob Smith has said. "I see the whole thing as many things. An art project, an artistic release, a sort of therapy. But a live band is not really one of them. I've done DJing gigs as The Swedish Railway, mostly the remixes stuff, in places like Berlin or wherever, but I'm grateful people take a small interest in the whole thing, despite not being a 'live' band".
Following the outfit's debut, The Swedish Railway Orchestra shared the 5-track EP 'You Can't Have It Your Way' featuring the single 'Death Of The Disco Tape', and sophomore album Remixes, Volume 1 - a house-heavy reimagining of the group's previous recordings.
In 2018, he released the critically acclaimed album This Is A Mixtape, with Smith giving profits from sales of the physical copies to Irish mental health charity Pieta House.
