Phantom Hound’s Jake Navarra comments:
“I’m incredibly pleased to welcome y’all to the advance streaming premiere of our sophomore record “From Boom Town to Ghost Town.” I invite you into a smokey saloon here on the Oakland waterfront to take a seat, have a drink, and listen to a story of wealth, greed, & ruin that has long since defined the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Area.
Having grown up alongside the ghosts of the gold rush, I’ve watched closely as my hometown boomed into the most expensive place to live in the United States, only to have its back broken by the pandemic and fall into a state of chaos, much like it did 175 years ago at the rise of the goldrush and the devastation of the 1906 earthquake.
Earlier this year, we signed with Glory or Death Records to bring this story to life. A decision we couldn’t be happier with. Their steadfast support has been key in drip-feeding each new single and music video this summer with nothing but the utmost dedication to the record, and in addition, booking our West Coast support tour this fall.
We’re incredibly stoked to release this monster into the world and can’t thank everyone enough for their support during our summer campaign. The response to the new sound has been incredible. So come catch us on tour, pick up an LP, dive into a time machine, and let me tell you cool stories from the gold rush over a glass of whiskey. You won’t believe half of them.”
