Trailhead’s
Bodies In The Basement is, in a word, beautiful. The melodies are fresh
but familiar, the lyrics are carefully constructed, and the production
is wonderfully woven. While Trailhead exhibits many influences on
Bodies, I find Tobias’s style and delivery mostly reminiscent of George
Harrison. Oh, and maybe mix in a little of the pop sensibility of Glen
Phillips. It’s really good modern Americana.

An almost
familial intimacy with the audience ... Trailhead makes use of the American
folk’s veriations, occasionally giving way to echoes of Spanish guitar, but
finally ever returning to the dusty dry style of Americana.

Brightly and yet intimately he applies
his voice .. its damn good music .. My favourite tunes are ‘Emmanuelle
Beart’ and ‘Ride’ both of which are overflowing with charm as well as
the
standard structural excellence. It’s a pleasure.

The
listeners completely succumbed to the fascination of his voice. Unique in its
warmth and memorability.
(Nachrichten Sonthofen) |
An astonishing piece of work, concerning the mature songwriting, as well
as the bright sound ... 13 songs bristling with harmonies and intimacy ... the
images carries you to the US, to Bob Dylan or the alternative Country-scene
around The Jayhawks. The multi voice harmonies often remind one of the Grateful
Dead. Everything on this record has a ring of wide spaces and open sky.
(Berlin Tagesspiegel / The Road To Salamanca) |
Trailhead set out, with
an air of lofty restlessness, self reflection and roadside philosophy, to set
his music apart from the mass of stereotypical folk music.

Americana through and
through.
A wonderful record.
(Folker Magazin / The Road To Salamanca) |
One gets the
impression, that he’s still „on the road“. Gentle finger picking gives way to
powerful chord changes; Cheerful melancholy teams up with dynamic restlessness.

With captivating harmony
vocals and fine melodies the 14 songs relate to today’s americana-bands like
Wilco and at the same time harken back to the classics, like Crosby, Stills
& Nash, Simon & Garfunkel, Paul McCartney and Donovan. Convincing debut.
(Tip Stadtmagazin Berlin / The Road To Salamanca) |
His music is open,
sensitive, believable, and never reduced to recycled phrases. Folk-rock, country, americana, simply good roots music, warm as the sun
on your neck, powerful as the train you jump to watch the world pass you by.

A heartfelt
americana-roots-album abound with verve, musical surprises and contrasting
arrangements, taking the listener to Scandinavian autumn scenery, as well as to
Death Valley.

"The Road To Salamanca" paints images
of landscapes, encounters and desire. The melodies are grand in their
simplicity, the warm vocal performance soaring with harmonies. Everything is
arranged harmoniously, catchy, yet
beautifully simple.

on your skin, listening to Panwitz’ virtuosic guitar playing and melancholic
voice. (Folkworld / The Road To Salamanca) |
