FreightTrain
The Great Space Coaster
Released: Jan 2005

"FreightTrain throws all the rules of songwriting out the window...Each track is a journey through open-ended celestial jams and underwater-sounding interludes…"
- The Boston Phoenix


"Funky, jazzy and spacey....The musicianship is first-rate…"
- The Noise


"A musical kaleidoscope, FreightTrain shift from psychedelic passages ala Aloha to breezy Galactic-esque soul, never losing their charm or compromising their ability to make hips shake..."
-Shut Eye Records


“Songs range from meaty rock to gritty blues to hard-driving jazz to the occasional foray into reggae/ska, and many points in between. One part Allman Brothers, one part Cream, one part Sublime, one part Pink Floyd, and many parts utterly unique…With delightfully catchy songs, intoxicating grooves, inventive melodies, and incredibly well synchronized jams…”
- Rivier Review


Bio:
FreightTrain have established themselves first and foremost as a live band, playing 150 shows last year in clubs around the northeast. The Great Space Coaster represents their first studio album, which incorporates the rollicking feeling of the live show. The sound is diverse, shifting from swamp grooves to moody textures, grand art rock anthems to soft and subtle windblown expanses, and hip jazzy bumps morphing into roots reggae.
