The 1987 album "Closely Watched Trains" is the sole album from Dublin's Glorious Din, a snapshot of their singular, often bracing, take on post-punk.
- The album was released in May 1987 by Murder Dog Magazine, an independent label also associated with the band's management.
- The release was distributed by Rapbay and Urbanlife Distribution, suggesting a limited reach for the band's only LP.
- Recorded during a period of flux in the UK and Irish indie scenes, "Closely Watched Trains" stands as a document of a band on the fringes.
Glorious Din was a band from Dublin, Ireland, active in the late 1980s indie and post-punk scene. They released a handful of singles and one album during their brief existence.
