Westbound Train has released “Slippery Slope,” the second single from their new album ‘Sing the Ghost Away,’ which is out now. The acclaimed ska and soul collective recorded the album at The Relic Room in New York City with production from Obi Fernandez on vocals and trombone alongside Eric Novod on drums, while Tim Panella handled the mixing and mastering. The track embodies the band’s message about persistence through difficult times, with Fernandez explaining that it serves as a reminder to remain present and engaged even when circumstances feel overwhelming. The album showcases Westbound Train’s evolution as songwriters and arrangers, pairing warm analog textures with sophisticated sonic layering that honors their roots in ska, rocksteady, and classic soul while pushing into fresh territory. Beyond “Slippery Slope” and first single “L.M.A.,” the collection features standout moments like “Keeper From the Start” and a reimagined version of fan favorite “We All Need Rescue” that transforms the deep cut into something vital and current. Contributions from Anthony Abbinanti on percussion and horn players Rich Graiko and Carlos Menezes Jr. add depth to the band’s already rich sound. This is a band firing on all cylinders, crafting songs that acknowledge struggle without getting swallowed by it and creating music that moves bodies while speaking to something deeper.
