Album of the Year alert! A few weeks into the New Year and all the critics already prove justified for what could be one the records of 2009. The Phantom Band is an excellent Scottish group that digested a huge array of influences. Very difficult to pin down or categorise. Just let me drop a few names they have been compared to so far and you will understand what I mean if you have not yet heard them: Beta Band, Neu, Bonnie Prince Billy, Nick Cave, Captain Beefheart, Super Furry Animals, … Can you see any link in between all those? Quality. The record is out today on Chemikal Underground. If you’re not yet convinced, go and visit their page on MySpace.
