Be Estranged
by Phantom Handshakes
supported by 5 fans who also own “i don't know”
This charming debut has the uncommon quality of being backloaded. Listening occasionally to the first three tracks brings me powerfully back to 2021, a very vulnerable period, which feels a long time ago. (I hear the rest of Phantom Handshakes' oeuvre on the daily!) Drift Away - simple as a snowdrop - infallibly, heart-wrenchingly beautiful - is surely my favourite song of all time.

Propulsive and tuneful dark pop from this LA band, available on black or opaque maroon vinyl.

Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain.

A Passport to Remain
by Phantom Handshakes
supported by 4 fans who also own “i don't know”
Phantom Handshakes takes so many of the things I like in music (emotive vocals, reverb, poppy jangly hooks, atmospheric synths) and combines them seamlessly into some of my favorite music released in the last couple of years. Reminiscent of The Radio Dept's Pet Grief, one of my all-time favorite albums.
