    ‘Phantom Threshold’ is the second of three new releases in 2022 by
    Steve Dawson. The album is an instrumental release that explores

    some very deep and elusive musical territory. In many ways, “Phan-
    tom Threshold” resumes the musical conversations started in ‘Tele-
    scope,’ Steve’s pedal steel-based instrumental album from 2008. The

    core band, dubbed ‘The Telescope Three,’ in reference to that release,
    is comprised of Jeremy Holmes (bass), Chris Gestrin (keyboards), and
    Jay Bellerose (drums/percussion). The natural telepathy between the
    musicians can be heard throughout ‘Phantom Threshold’ as they cook

    up an enticing blend of textured string and keyboard sounds. Record-
    ed with an array of vintage tube amps, Dawson’s distinctive pedal

    steel sound is always in the forefront, vocalizing themes and defining
    parameters for the plethora of unusual instruments running from
    pump organ and accordion to the otherworldly marxophone (a kind of
    fretless zither played with hammers) and Moog synthesizer.
    Guest musicians include Daniel Lapp, who added some beautiful
    violin and cornet accents to ‘Cozy Corner’ and ‘Tripledream,’ and Fats
    Kaplin who played fiddle and banjo on the title track as well as
    accordion on ‘The Waters Rise.’
