With their debut album - Smoke & Mirrors - Phantom's Elsie and Jonny create a new percussive landscape for their music. They used recordings of places, objects and sounds found organically around them, both familiar and alien: an antique typewriter thump, the flap of a letter dropping through a letter box, heels clicking on concrete, the Mars Space Rover rumbling across the surface of the red planet. Each sound has been carefully treated and morphed into a rhythm to support compositions.
Phantom's strength is being able to create an atmosphere; therefore it’s apt that the album - provided in two 22-minute parts with no track marks - is seamless when played in sequence. The songs build and bleed into one another just as they do during Phantom’s captivating live set. A remix of “We Float” by Death In Plains is also featured on the album. Death In Plains is a visual/musical adventure, the brainchild of Enrico Boccioletti, who creates a sound that joins Fuck Buttons to Jesus and Mary Chain via MGMT.
Smoke & Mirrors mysteriously transports you into Phantom’s world of alluring, sensual sounds, captivating your imagination and enticing you into their silky neo-noir musical landscapes.
A full list of Phantom's tour dates and a stream of Smoke & Mirrors can be found of the band's official website.
