Their new single, &#8216;Billows&#8217;, was released on January 8, ahead of their debut LP, &#8216;Wilds&#8217;, which is set to come out on the 19th of March.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Phantom Wave have probably never heard of them, but the first thing I thought of when I listened to &#8216;Billows&#8217;, was classic Australian indie rock band, The Church. I think it&#8217;s primarily the vocals, but it&#8217;s also the use of lots of hi hat, together with swirling amounts of dream pop guitar. It&#8217;s an ethereal wave of sound, dynamic and fluid, giving the ear-appearance of a spontaneous jam session, but knowing full well that it&#8217;s an illusion, these artists know what they&#8217;re doing and have set out to do it this way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Phantom Wave first formed in 2017, and have successfully merged their respective musical histories with their sound which blends just enough fuzz, reverb, and delay, to create a perfect ear-feel. Prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the band were gigging around New York. Hopefully they&#8217;ll get the chance to return to performing later this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about Phantom Wave and their music online\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/phantomwaveband.bandcamp.com\/\">Bandcamp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PhantomWaveNYC\/\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/phantomwaveband\/?hl=en\">Instagram<\/a>.
