With "Elephant Graveyard", Train Conductor conjures a ghostly, immersive odyssey. Explored deeply in the psyche, it evokes the struggles of light and shadow, that uneasy, effervescent beauty that lies between.
"Elephant Graveyard" pulses through with lush, psychedelic, and shoegaze tapestries, a vibe-drenched fever dream. A haze-shrouded desert of guitars, every note is a mirage that tosses you further into your subconscious. It's dizzying and comforting, a nexus that embodies the twisted psychology of Train Conductor's growing sound. That emotional devastation reaches new heights in the song's final act with the entrance of Denver Williams, a Fort Worth, TX, guitarist. This specter-like presence will deliver solace and illumination with his ghostly playing. Its crystalline artistscape is vast and boundless, embracing the track's yoga-like grips, Williams provides it with a spectral heat that feels eternally existing long after the last note fades.
"Elephant Graveyard" is a song of self-confrontation and internal battle, the music one makes while walking ever deeper into the soul's shadowed corners. Even yet, in the most complex spaces, there is something worth hearing. This year, as the group continues to evolve and progress, "Elephant Graveyard" will present a substantial portion of a dark, heroic picture. We ask you to shut your eyes, abandon the wheel, and see where the night takes you.
