London-based guitarist and producer Tim Hesse returns with “Phantom Goose”, a light-hearted yet subtly surreal instrumental that effortlessly blurs the line between jazz and pop. The track floats with a feather-light touch — airy, melodic, and dreamlike — capturing the playful spirit of its title while showcasing Hesse’s evolving musical voice.
Serving as the first single from his upcoming EP “Wide Frame Mind,” “Phantom Goose” offers a taste of what’s to come: richly story-driven instrumentals full of emotional nuance, whimsical imagery, and memorable hooks. Hesse’s guitar work is expressive and melodic, guiding the listener through a soundscape that feels both familiar and unexpected.
There’s an elegance to the track’s construction — layered harmonies, buoyant rhythms, and subtle shifts that keep the listener floating just slightly off the ground. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t demand attention, but earns it quietly through texture, tone, and storytelling without words.
With “Phantom Goose”, Tim Hesse isn’t just composing music — he’s crafting cinematic moments through sound. If this single is any indication, “Wide Frame Mind” promises to be a vivid, genre-blurring journey into the mind of an artist unafraid to explore emotion, groove, and imagination in equal measure.
