Bow Thayer and Perfect Trainwreck’s album, Eden, was written almost entirely on electric banjo and fuses experimental elements with Americana, rock, bluegrass, and folk, resulting in a singular, progressive sound that has earned the Vermont-based band descriptions ranging from ⌠Green Mountain soul to ⌠modern backwoods music.]

American Songwriter declared that Thayer is “the best Producer to come from New England in recent years” and says Eden is ” as adventuresome as anything currently out there in the Americana field” and ” excellent all the way through”. Relix says the “quality of the songwriting and the careful precision of the arrangements…brings to mind Dave Matthews Band though Thayer and his band rock much harder.” Seven Days observes that the band “present well-crafted flights of fancy rooted in typically potent songwriting” that push in a new direction “that could attract legions of new fans.” And Farce The Music sums it up this way: “Think early Wilco with a broader sound or a modernized version of The Band and you’ve got an idea of Bow Thayer and Perfect Trainwreck’s M.O.”
