Removador Recordings and Solutions

Follow the Train began as the solo project of Dennis Sheridan in Spring of 2004 and has since weathered several transformations.

Initially providing a low-key and atmospheric experience that paid tribute to the great shoe-gazers of the late 80s and early 90s, Follow the Train enjoyed pockets of marginal success with the aid of exploits such as their self-released ep, the great disturbance; full-length from Darla Records, a breath of sigh; two consecutive years showcasing at SXSW and a handful of tour dates.

After shuffling through a rotating cast of characters, Follow the Train’s most recent ensemble, composed of James Hewett (drums), Mike Sabo (guitars), Brandon Jones (percussion and raw energy), Carlos Ramos (bass) and David Cronin (keyboards), imploded into the production of Mercury, a nine song, full-length, space-maddening, psychedelic, operatic brain-cookie. Mercury was produced over the span of a year – a time when several of its unusual members underwent significant life changes and used the record as a means to capture the intensity of their respective experiences. The songs, pre-filtered through long-time friend, Yim Yames, and processed by production mastermind, Kevin Ratterman, speak for themselves. Listeners are taken on a thick and epic rock n’ roll journey to the closest planet to our Sun and back home again.
