The Howling - Out Now
The Phantom Band's limited edition 7" featuring the radio edit of 'The Howling' and B-Side 'The Tall One' is out now and available to buy from all good record shops and our very own online store. People just can't seem to stop loving The Phantom Band - quite right too and long may it continue.
" the song tumbles in like a little ball of light in this month's otherwise uninspiring releases."
ARTROCKER
"The lightness of touch that The Phantom Band display in combining styles will be familiar to any fans of The Beta Band, and like Steve Mason and co., TPB have a knack of making other bands look very ordinary indeed."
CUTLUREDELUXE
"Unlikely but utterly triumphant and epic melding of Can and Stereolab with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy from the Peter Buck-endorsed Glaswegian sextet."
TIMEOUT
"...there's a real poppy melody at work here too, and a riff reminiscent of the Velvets' 'What Goes On'...an oddly jaunty stroll through death fear"
NME (10 tracks you have to hear).
