Release Notes:
Equally meditative as it is memorable, TRACK A TIGER coaxes only the most
atmospheric textures on their aptly titled sophomore full-length WE MOVED LIKE
GHOSTS. Taking cues from the drowsy, sweet spirits referenced in the title,
there's a touch of intrigue and mystery contained in this infectious collection
of sublime indie pop. The real secret of this record is not how these sweeping,
organic gems lull you under but how cozy you feel once the jangly strum of
acoustic guitar and gentle keyboards wash over. Jim Vallet and Kristina
Castaneda's warm vocals are the final knockout punch, wistful and reflective,
yet irresistibly magnetic. We Moved Like Ghosts is mostly a pensive and
restrained affair, but don't mistake TRACK A TIGER for being anything less than
dynamically persuasive. The band's charming swing and rollicking backbeat propel
songs in a delicate upward trajectory, keeping the mood one step ahead of
somber. Of course TRACK A TIGER also has an upbeat swagger, at times cranking
out rustic melodies that gallop over dusty passages, referencing a more
Americana / Alt Country canon. TRACK A TIGER's gorgeous soundscapes, male-female
harmonies, luscious strings and mellow acoustics are a lesson on how sometimes
the most quiet voice resonates the most profoundly and how real beauty and
sincerity lie in subtlety and detail.
