| Vaportrail's music takes your senses for a rocky, yet blissful, ride. From noisy dream-pop to gentle acoustic melancholy, the music never loses its power or emotional impact. The lyrics reflect late-night, soul-searching ruminations on life, love and outer space. It's escapism at its most poignant. |

| On their debut ep, the San Francisco band Vaportrail blends acoustic rock with effects-laden shoegazing. It's a very appealing mixture, never going too far out into ambient territory, and never rocking out too much either. The first track, "marbles in the sky," is a soaring, near seven minute song that leans much more on the ambient swing of things without ever fully losing touch. "Unfold" is the most straightforward rock song on the ep, with a nice solo. Things settle back down for "Live Slowly...", which is almost devoid of effects, and is just a beautifully dreamy acoustic song. "Going Under" brings back the effects for some instrumental bliss. There is also an acoustic bonus track, which should have been listed, because it's just as pretty as any of the other tracks. The lyrics range from melancholic to longing, and fit the mood of the music. Roger Anderson's voice is smooth and the production is appropriately warm. This is truly beautiful music without any flaws to speak of. - Sebastian Stirling |
