Phobophobes – Mono Into Stereo (Modern Sky)
Release Date: Out Now
For anyone who ever watch the criminally
underrated and much missed animated sketch show Monkey Dust, this new release
from Phobophobes will be right up your street. ‘Mono Into Stereo’ could be the
new theme tune for a long anticipated third series with dark undertones (and
overtones, for that matter) running through this stylish number. The low,
swaggering vocals are part Nick Cave and part Neil Hannon, the guitars are
eccentric, and the rhythm section was brought in from a cruise ship band
performing on the river Styx crossing. It is the lavish organ sound that sells
this, however, along with the vocal harmonies used as an instrument to give it
that Eels-esque sound. This is the second track I’ve had the pleasure (pleasure?)
of reviewing from Phobophobes and their world just gets stranger, darker, deeper
and more tempting.
