Phantom Tails - “Only Your Eyes”- [Official Music Video] - 2012 (by phantomtailstv)

We are pleased to bestow upon you a celebratory haunting for this transitional phase shift between summer and fall. This summer/fall single is our way of marrying the autumnal equinox to the summer solstice. While the caterpillars cocoon themselves within a samba siesta, the birds prepare to migrate to the nether regions of the hemisphere for dia de los muertos. What’s old is new, as veins of leaves run crimson…

For this epic progression of season and rebirth, Phantom Tails are also in transition. We would like to offer this dynamic single as a last morsel of summer comfort before entering our own cocoon to record our next album. May thee harvest moon bring you bounty a-plenty!

With their newest release, This band has come a step closer to capturing their thunderous live sound. The drums kick a bit heavier, the bass is grittier, and the keyboard sounds really grind. In an opening track by the name of “Flotsam & Jetsam”, they pull out such tricks as meter changes, outrageously catchy hooks, and a dance-anthem chorus. This tune shows thier maturity in compositional structure that goes far beyond the normal confines of electro-pop. They didn’t attempt anything so risky in their debut. They keep the album sludgy throughout, following the climactic “Flotsam & Jetsam” with another dance anthem, this song pick. This track is more of what the doom funk quartet does best; hooks, dance beats, eerie organ riffs, and guitar anthems. They manage to keep this fire alive with the third track of extended play, entitled “Onward & Awkward”. Afterwards, the excitement begins to dip, with the hooks of fourth track “Young Rapture” not proving their worth enough when faced with the dynamic of the first three tracks. The final track, “Glacial Drumlins” proves to be memorable enough of a song to cap the album off in an excitement that leaves the listener more than satisfied. While the album does take a small turn for worse after the first three tracks, three out of five stellar tunes proves to be enough to make this E.P. a standout amongst most of the releases of its peers. This song pick would be perfect for the mashup previews they show at the Alamo Drafthouse. — Phantom Tails - Dressed Wounds
