My Homegame review is pretty brief, but it is here , and there is a wee video thingy as well for you to enjoy. This is of course the accompanying podcast, with songs either from the bands I saw there, or from EPs and bits and pieces I acquired at the merch table up in Fife. I should really have included some interviews and shit in this podcast, shouldn't I, but then I wasn't actually as well prepared or as organised as I should have been, really. Inasmuch as I kind of think I would prefer my [...]
Derzeit weilt mit der Phantom Band eine wunderbare 2009er Neuentdeckung in der Schweiz. Grund genug, kurz auf Oeuvre und Konzerte zu verweisen. Checkmate Savage , das Debut der Phantom Band ist diesen Januar auf Chemical Underground , dem Label der leider verstummten Delgados , erschienen und verdient nur schon fr das wunderbare Crocodile eine Erwhnung. Crocodile ist wohl das beste neue Hallogallo seit Fujiya & Miyagi . Phantom Band - Island Phantom Band - Crocodile Wer die [...]
Our quarter-century podcast is all about new releases. We've got superb new tasty tunes from Hudson Mohawke, Montreal's Clues (whose debut is worth checking out), a song from the already-lauded Suckers EP, a song from the new Starfucker EPlum, a track from David Kitt's new one The Nightsaver and towards the dancier end of the spectrum: brand new tunes from Clark, Moderat, The Juan Maclean and I shit you not, a surprising song from the Twilight soundtrack.

I thought it was about time for a catch-up, and an announcement. First up, the best music that has been piped through the ship's tannoy over the last few months, and because it's so good, will probably still be on the autochanger at the end of the year. The return of the Super Furry Animals , following a couple of solo projects from Gruff Rhys and Cian Ciaran , has delighted these old ears. I loved 2003's Phantom Power, but the recent Dark Days/Light Years could be even stronger, if not their best yet. [...]
Bugger me it's a busy week in gigs this week, starting this very evening, which is annoying in a sense as I'd rather hoped to have a relaxing week. Fat chance, it seems. Sorry for the lack of chat, but there's a fuck of a lot to list here and I have to get this done before the end of my lunch break. Consequently these previews are going to be the shortest I've ever written. It might seem slightly insulting to the bands involved, but huge apologies if it is, but I am really, really rushed this morning. [...]

Like I mentioned yesterday, and what Our Society members & our FACEBOOK friends already had dibs/access/etc to since Saturday, I had a little sumfin special a-brewin' for ya! And, well, here it is! A wonderful whopping 33 songs (well, 30 plus part of 1 split into 3, carry the four, take the squar root or something), from one hell of a fun year so far, i.e. nuffin but oh-niners (I hope, never know... those 'oh-eighters' can be pretty sneaky sometimes)!

Ryan (StopMe): Perhaps it's the SXSW effect (MLD: Hello I havent been out once yet, too much work) or maybe just the time of year but ace tracks are coming like running water this week, so I was left with the arduous (In a kinda good way) task of choosing just ten tracks from the 36 amazing tunes I'd shortlisted. It's taken me hours to argue the merits of each song with myself, but here it is: The slinky Marimba sound of 'The Lion & The Teacup' reminds me of [...]
(Picture by Alexandra Cameron Photography ) Its shaping up to be a good weekend. With the snow melting away here out East and the weather warming up as we draw closer and closer to SXSW , it seems there's nothing better than a playlist from us to you. The list below contains many groups we're quite excited about, and some that are teetering on the realm of just barely getting their name out there. Among the list below is one of MUFs recent favorites, [...]
I was sent a couple of songs earlier this year by Glaswegian (I love to say that) outfit The Phantom Band , and one of them, "Left Hand Wave," has continued to grow on me the more I listen to it. The six band members are artists, social workers, librarians and lawyers, several of whom also play in other projects. After a period of billing themselves as a different band name every show and wearing bags over their heads for band photos, they solidified their mystery by becoming The Phantom Band. The [...]
The subtleties about the new album from Andrew Keese and the Associates are what makes each listen a dazzling showcase for the Aussies' emotionally-stained rock message of Desire . For a lamenting harmony and a down-toned set of vocals from Keese, it might seem hard to really grasp at any tangible hook. Throughout each song, whether it be a piano and violin oriented hymn or a soft guitar ode, a message with a somewhat spiritual vibe strides ahead.

There are some who might argue that, since The Phantom Band are from Glasgow, are signed to Chemikal Underground Records, and had the delgados' Paul Savage produce their debut album, all they really needed to do was record a dog taking a shit into a trombone, and I'd give it a fawning review. This would be entirely justified, so I'll try to be objective here. 'Checkmate Savage' is a little uneven - there are a couple of songs that don't quite do it, like 'Crocodile' which is noisy but in mitigation, involves bagpipes. Not shockingly for [...]
Semi-mysterious Glaswegian sextet The Phantom Band sound like a combination of the best moody Scottish groups of the last 10 years: the angst of Arab Strap and Malcolm Middleton's solo work, the sweep of the Delagos, the atmospherics of Mogwai. So it makes sense they're signed to Chemikal Underground, home of all the aformentioned. Their debut, Checkmate Savage , was released about a month ago and it is epic and awesome, nine tracks, nearly an hour long, and not a wasted minute. It's easy to type out a litany of [...]

Ein Phantom Band Rückblick und 2 düstere Videos
Die Phantom Band war zu Gast in St.Gallen und eigentlich noch besser als wir es vorab vermutet hatten. Leider knnen wir selbiges nicht von den Beweis-Videos behaupten. Da es im Palace einmal mehr sehr sehr dster war, ist nun auf den Videos leider nicht zu erkennen wie Life-Aquatic-mssig der Keyboarder mit seiner roten Mtze aussah. Aber wenigstens kommt der musikalische Aspekt fr Youtube-Verhltnisse gut rber.
Die Phantom Band ist in der Gegend und sehr zu empfehlen

The Phantom Band - Folksong Oblivion
It’s funny I had been away from this song for over 2 months and coming back now I realise how much I have missed it. For some peculiar reason it also feels like it has been with me for much longer, already brandishing that feel of a classic. Some background, the Phantom Band are from Glasgow and their debut album ‘Checkmate Savage’ is a slightly impenetrable delight. There’s magic in them thar
