Phanta is the kind of band that makes you remember why you fell in love with loud music in the first place. A nu-gaze trio from Cincinnati, OH, they fuse the serrated edge of grunge with the brooding pulse of post-punk, drenching it all in the swirling textures of shoegaze. Imagine Yeah Yeah Yeahs colliding with My Bloody Valentine, or Wolf Alice getting lost in the static of a late-night radio transmission.
