Phantasia – Ghost Stories LP (Beach Impediment Records)

$28.00

Phantasia is a dream-pop band based in New York. Inspired by the romantic musings of bands like The Cure, Strawberry Switchblade, and The Replacements, Phantasia melodically stumbles in the process of unlocking grief, creating a dissociative conflict between reality and fantasy.

NYC’s Phantasia drops a very well-rounded debut LP. Riddled with sentimentality, darkwave bliss, and poppy interludes, this album is a culmination of noted influences like Bruce Springsteen and Pylon, to name a couple. Mixed with an original styling, I find a debut that captures this band at its rawest, and most close to the heart. The closer “Leftover You” is reminiscent of the Replacements “Answering Machine,” or any of their B-side reveries, for that matter. The vocalist warbles through elongated notes of heartache, sounding like she’s hanging on to the microphone for dear life. This is worth your time.
