In memory of Dan Achen.

Shortly after Dan passed away in March, Ian Smith (Spirits/The Miniatures) wrote a song in Dan’s memory called Passing Trains. Ian and drummer Nick Skalkos performed the song at Dan’s wake in March. A few weeks later we were talking with Ian about the future of Catherine North, and decided that recording “Passing Trains” should be our first new project after Dan’s passing.

The song was sent to Joe Lambert Mastering in Brooklyn, NY. We just got the master back and we’re excited to get it out there as a tribute to Dan.

July 13 was Dan’s birthday. Help us celebrate by passing this on.

Produced by Michael Chambers & Ian Smith. Recorded at Catherine North by MC & Duke Foster, assisted by Tristan Miller. Mixed by MC. Mastered by Joe Lambert at JLM. Ian Smith: vox, guitar, synth. Nick Skalkos: drums. MC: bass, etc.
