THE SWEDISH RAILWAY ORCHESTRA
The Swedish Railway Orchestra is the brainchild of Dublin musician, author and producer Rob Smith. His latest release is the lead single Dead Man's Ghost (feat Mike Garry) from the final TSRO album Repetition Without Permission out on October 1. Mike's powerful spoken word performance weaves seamlessly through the track, creating one of the album's most poignant and memorable moments while marking a bold departure from the project's familiar sonic palette.
​
Blending shimmering electronica, melancholic trip-hop, psychedelic textures and hypnotic, danceable rhythms, the new album sees Dublin musician Rob Smith bring the project to a close with its most immersive and accomplished collection yet. Rich in atmosphere and melody, Repetition Without Permission expands on the experimental sound that has defined The Swedish Railway Orchestra over the past decade while offering a fitting final chapter.​​​

In 2018, the Dubliner released Remixes Vol. 1, a work so strong, Smith was invited to play TSRO remix DJ sets in cities such as Buenos Aires, Barcelona and Berlin.
The following year the album This Is A Mixtape was released to much praise, which featured singles such as Cold Condensation, Wy Bk Hm as well as the Brian Jonestown Massacre-inspired The Subjection.
But it was in 2020, where the greatest acclaim was achieved with the self titled third studio album which featured the single The Freaks Come Out At Night, was a mainstay on Irish radio that summer, and to this day it is still held in high regard and played by some of the UK and Ireland's most well known DJs in some prestigious clubs.
