"Souvenir" is a heart wrenching and deeply personal album. Set against a backdrop of urban folk tinged indie-rock, souvenir explores emotional subjects such as divorce, death and the loss of religion.

Train Go Sorry is the creation of Portland, Oregon singer songwriter Chad Bault. Much like fellow Portland local, the late Elliott Smith, Bault's work started as a solo effort before growing to include an ever changing line-up of local musicians, eventually resulting in “Souvenir”, his collaboration with drummer Adam Mack and bassist Wayne Miller.

Chad grew up in eastern Washington State at the height of the early 90s grunge explosion, playing in many garage bands and covering the likes of Nirvana and Alice in Chains. Having developed a gritty edge to his voice, he began drifting towards more acoustic based rock, as well as drifting south to Portland in 2002. He credits his diverse sound to his wide range of influences and his desire to seek out the musician behind the labels given to their music: these influences range from Kurt Cobain, to Nick Drake to Jeff Tweedy. Train Go Sorry's unique yet instantly familiar sound is intensely personal, honest and emotive, with songs such as the brilliant “Alive” displaying his immense talent and knack for catchy songwriting.
