Passenger Year

Passenger Year is the brainchild of TJ Whiting, born out of the legacy of the Orlando-based band EINSTEIN! in 2024. Whiting, known for his creative blending of acoustic and electronic styles, set out to create a sound that breaks boundaries, pulling from a wide range of influences while staying true to his roots. The debut EP, 'Think What You Think,' is a testament to this genre-fluid approach. The EP was recorded over two years, with recording sessions taking place in both Norfolk, England, and Kansas City, Missouri.

The production was taken to another level with mixing by Gothenburg-based producer David Johansson. Final mastering was handled by John Naclerio, a name familiar to fans of Just Surrender, The Audition, & Senses Fail. The debut EP delivers a sequence of pleasant surprises, with each track offering introspective lyrics, acoustic warmth, and electronic experimentation. Fans of acoustic-electronic fusion will find Passenger Year’s debut an essential, repeat listen.
