Following the release of early singles "The Hearse" and "Spirit Forest," Wampire are back today to share "Trains" from their forthcoming debut Curiosity. When asked about the origin of the new single, Wampire's Eric Phipps said: 
"'Trains' was written during a time when I was young and overly idealistic about love. A lady was driving me wild with her strange affection and I was naively waiting for it to 'mean something' or whatever. When she finally skipped town, I was sitting on a train that was delayed for some reason or another and started humming the melody that later became 'Trains.' By the time I got home I had the lyrics and rough skeletal structure of the song. Girls are like trains - you're always waiting for a chance to be let on just so you can hop off at the next stop." 
Along with the new song, Wampire are announcing a run of West Coast tour dates, a handful of which are with STRFKR. Check out "Trains" and all upcoming Wampire tour dates below.
