'Sol Train', the self published debut album by ‘Band Of Frequencies’, introduced the bands sound to the Californians when they were invited to play at the ‘Cosmic Creek surf festival’ in Salt Creek, Orange County in May 2006, a cosmic trip that had a lasting effect on the band and listeners alike.
The album was mostly recorded at Airlock Studio’s over three days, with additional tracking done at Low Pressure Sound Studio’s. It also features two tracks from the ‘Life Like Liquid’ surf film recording sessions. One of those is a version of the legendary Jimi Hendrix and the Band of Gypsies track ‘Who Knows’ with Australian blues artist Ash Grunwald on vocals and guitar, Terepai Richmond on Drums (King Tide, d.i.g), James Cox and Dave Rastovich on percussion.
The record is dedicated to Dylan Clarke with track 5, ‘Dylan’s Wings’ being a highlight of the recording. Dylan and Band of Frequencies lead singer/guitarist Shannon Sol R. Carroll were both children of the same band, their fathers being the rhythm section in ‘Moonstone’ who were legendary resident band at the “Patch” in Coolangatta in the early 70’s. Dylan died tragically at the age of 19, inspiring this soaring dedication to his life and ever continuing inspiration.
