Music Savage on Phantom Train

The Marshall Pass - Phantom Train

The wonderful music website Music Savage recently reviewed “Phantom Train”.

Phantom Train, explores textures of folk music through a sonica space that echoes through a warm and serene space, employing small samples, reverbs, and vocals that seem to perfectly reflect the duo’s loss and creative rebirth. It’s an absolute must listen, as it transports the listener to another place with poignant songwriting and tenderly played music that has a warm inviting feel introduce you to a serenity that is unparalleled. Rawding’s voice teeters right on the edge between gritty and refined but feels just right for the musical accompaniments from Arsenault as he seems to mix in everything but the kitchen sink bringing in guitars, banjos, slide, bass, piano and percussions that are so tastefully delightful you’ll go back and hear different layers that you may have missed on the first few listens.

Phantom Train – Digital Release

The Marshall Pass - Phantom Train

“Upon my first listen to The Marshall Pass EP “Phantom Train” I thought I was listening to some sort of transcendental eulogy. Lush acoustic guitars and vocals that delivered a universal sermon comforted me as I floated around the details of minimal instrumentation and layered choruses. Upon further investigation it was no surprise that the two responsible for The Marshall Pass drew their inspiration from the passing of a great friend and musical confidant. Mapping the vibe and overall feel of the record is the healing process and that process is what navigates the myth of the “Phantom Train” from loss to redemption.” — Jeremy Moses Curtis
