El tren fantasma

by Chris Watson

El tren fantasma cover art

Conceptualized around a railway journey from the Pacific to the Atlantic across Mexico, this fascinating project utilizes raw field recordings captured by Watson. The album is an incredibly evocative sound collage that documents the sounds of the journey before the railway's historic passenger service was dismantled.
