Following up a debut album is a a big challenge for any band, especially when that debut scaled the heights of the ‘Best of…’ lists and achieved near cult status.
Signed to seminal Glasgow label Chemikal Underground in 2008, The Phantom Band quickly established themselves as one of the most important acts in Scotland with an idiosyncratic, strident mash-up of krautrock, alt-folk and electronic pulses.
As a follow up album, ‘The Wants’, is a masterpiece—an almost intangibly genre-bending experimental masterpiece at that—walking the listener on a tightrope pulled taught over a landscape of visceral sonics, undulating beats, aching melody and heartfelt narrative.
