We live in a a time of huge trap bass and omnipresent urban music; FANTOMES are the odd ones out, daring to play sincere, careless rock, informed by the powerful pounding of Nirvana, the whisky voices of the Pixies, the pop sensitivity of Weezer. While the lyrics may deal with dark themes, the melodies and luminous arrangements conjure up a fantasized Californian summer rather than a bartender’s spleen.
FANTOMES will release their debut album IT’S OK on February 26th
