itscoolitsokay Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 The Tunnels Presents...The Phantom Band plus SupportWednesday 16th MarchThe TunnelsTickets available online now from...Crowdsurge (Cheapest booking fees)TicketwebSeeticketsand they will be available in One-Up very soon.Last years Phantom Band debut was one unique record, charged with the notion that rock music has far from exhausted its every possibility. The Wants is the same, but bolder, richer, its components more cleverly integrated...Amazing." Mojo 4/5"an epic follow up to an epic debut" Q 4/5"utterly engrossing...thrillingly inventive" Uncut 4/5"destined to become a classic British record" Drowned In Sound 9/10"exhilarating" The Guardain 4/5The verdicts are in: The Wants, the incredible, immersive second album from Glasgows The Phantom Band, is a critical smash, picking up enough 4 star reviews to light a small galaxy. Twelve months after their totally unique debut, theyre still in a movement of one.Following the album, the band are set to release Everybody Knows Its True as a single. Built on a percussive Moog tinkle, poly-rhythmic group vocals and half-time drums, the song adds layers and layers of sound that draw you into its downbeat world. We dare you not to listen to the end. Keep your ears open for some unusual instruments too, says keyboard player Andrew Wake: It features a Wurlitzer borrowed from Teenage Fanclub, Sink's [guitarist Greg Sinclairs] Saw skills, Dezi's Reed Organ debut (the one with only a few keys left intact, famed by Island) and the saddest synth melody known to man.Listen to new album 'The Wants' on Spotify here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
