#WILTS (why I like this song)
The title track off of Phantoms’ upcoming album set to be released on ODESZA’s label, Foreign Family Collective, is a definite progression for the electronic duo. It’s a much quicker tempo than their previous releases, which paves the way beautifully for the syncopated stabs and rolling high hats that give this track its airy, uplifting vibe. With these dynamic elements layered over a brassy bass and topped with hopeful vocals, this track really stood out to me as an example of how music can capture you in an instant.
It’s really a fantastic example of the evolution of Phantoms’ sound as a group. Major bonus points to them for writing and recording this track in a bedroom with barking dogs outside their apartment! Excited to hear the rest of this album in August.
