The Phantom Family Halo may be most immediately notable for its pedigree -- members of indie rock royalty The For Carnation , Slint , Dead Child , et al. But, it's the band's sound that becomes the most remarkable upon first listen: Think Syd Barrett jamming with Hawkwind or the 13th Floor Elevators in the height of the Krautrock frenzy, or The Birthday Party subdued to play a rendition of "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway." Others have described the Louisville, KY quintet as a unique crossbreed of [...]
The Mohawk Lodge: Wildfires When I first heard these guys last summer I thought David Bazan (Pedro the Lion) had started a side project. This time around I forgot I'd heard The Mohawk Lodge before and figured Bazan had decided that going by his own name instead of Pedro the Lion and working on Headphones wasn't enough - he'd gotten some groupies and started a rock band. I have to keep reminding myself it's not his voice I'm hearing. This is what Bazan would sound like if catchiness was a priority of his (it's not). [...]
Like the all inclusive genre indie, psychedelic music is one of those terms whose meaning has become diluted over the years. It can include freak-folk, space rock, drone, and just about anything else that would sound better with a couple big bong hits. The Phantom Family Halo hearken back to a time when psychedelic meant oozy, spooky, and sludgy rock and roll played at the speed of a lava lamp , and slow tunes packaged with the right mood enhancers could lead to an honest to goodness freak out. These compositions are spacious, bordering on minimalist, yet [...]

Returning from my hometown, I had a present waiting in the mail. I've been wanting to share Louisville, KY band, The Phantom Family Halo with you all for quite awhile now, but I haven't had a suitable mp3 to share since I first heard them. I got my grubbies on their debut long-player finally, The Legend Of Black Six , out on from Cold Sweat Records , and knew it was time. Fans of garage and experimental rock or neo [...]
The Phantom Family Halo Genre: Psychedelic / Rock / Experimental From: LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY United States Repetitious psychedelic dreams give way to flickering space synthesizers, as Louisville, KY's The Phantom Family Halo dig deep to create something fresh and vital out of something old and glorious. Think Syd Barrett and Scott Walker jamming with Hawkwind or the 13th Floor Elevators in the height [...]
