Mannequin Records is simply elated to present the debut 12 inch EP from Phantom Love, a mysterious Kosmische act from Southern Europe. Emerging from the majestic and fiercely sun-trapped lands of the Old Continent, Phantom Love takes you along a dazing journey through a spectral yet dreamy haze of spacey psychedelia. Limited Edition of 300 copies with artwork by Giandomenico Carpentieri. Strongly recommended to fans of Brian Eno, Klaus Schulze, John Carpenter, Carter Tutti, Stellar Om Source, Harald Grosskopf, Tangerine Dream, Beak, Zombie Zombie.
Drawing inspiration and guidance from the ever-revered mitt European and Mediterranean tradition of Kraut and Cosmic rock, Phantom Lovemanages to encapsulate and transcend the formulas normally associated with these genres.
A retro-futuristic feast for the ears, a production that is equally analogue and digital, haunting and exotic, Phantom Love’s debut is a sonic sculpture of obsessive arpeggios and reverb-drenched strings.
Against this arcane melodic canvas, tribal and shape-shifting drums structures fight and discipline the liquid interplay and superimposition of cymbals and cowbells delays.
