Westbound Train return with their most dynamic and soulful album to date, a bold evolution that stays rooted in the band’s signature blend of ska, rocksteady, and classic soul. Produced by frontman Obi Fernandez and drummer Eric Novod, the record pairs warm, analog textures with inventive arrangements and nuanced mixing choices, offering a fresh perspective on a sound they've spent three decades perfecting. It’s a confident, emotionally resonant collection that captures Westbound Train at a new creative peak.
The first vinyl pressing comes on "Blood Orange" hand pour vinyl and is limited to 500 copies worldwide. No two records look the same, as the colors ebb and flow throughout the run.
Signed test pressings, numbered and limited to just 20 copies, come in a screen printed jacket with alternate artwork.
