The New Haven Register picked Closely Watched Trains' self-titled debut as their favorite local album of 2009, calling it "an amazing blend of ebullient folk and rock...a killer disc that features many songs perfect for a Wes Anderson film." Read the full story here. Considering all the local artists that released stuff this year, we are honored. Check out the album on our Store page.

CWT is already working on new material and will begin recording soon.

A big thanks to Gary over at IndepenDisc for making CWT the site's featured band this month.  Gary's been at it for years, working to bring vital music by independent artists to the audience it deserves, through both his IndepenDisc Music Club and his show on CygnusRadio every Wednesday night.

The Advocate ran a great cover story this week about some of the state's key homegrown record labels, and Twin Lakes managed to get featured.  Check it here. 

Side note: Our founder's name is spelled Kiefer, like the actor, not Keifer. 

In addition to being able to purchase a CD from our store, you can now find CWT's impressive debut on iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody, Napster, and Amazon.

The New Haven Register ran a couple features in yesterday's paper on Closely Watched Trains and Twin Lakes. Check them out here and here.
