After a year and a half lying low, pop rock band Train is pulling back into the station (of making new music that is). Today (June 9), the "Marry Me" band released a new single, "Angel In Blue Jeans," marking a new album cycle.
The song, which pulls away from the band's ukulele-driven sound from its last two albums (2009's Save Me, San Francisco and 2012's California 37) features a strummed, steady guitar/drum combo driving the mid-tempo beat and a chorus filled with a cinematic "Oh," recalling some of fellow pop rocker Phillip Phillips' more bombastic singles.
Lyrically, the song finds Pat Monahan and co. in familiar territory, with a mysterious lady, fittingly wearing blue jeans, making the singer feel some type of way (that way being intrigued and in insta-love).
Though not as earworm-y as "Drive By" or even "Hey, Soul Sister," "Angel In Blue Jeans" is a more technically proficient song, making Train tolerable to the masses.

According to Yahoo, "Angel In Blue Jeans" is the lead single from Train's upcoming seventh studio album, Bulletproof Picasso, which will be released on Sept. 16.
Bulletproof Picasso will be Train's first album in two years. The band's last effort, California 37 was released on April 13, 2012, and spawned the singles "Drive By," "50 Ways To Say Goodbye" and "Bruises."
