Phantom – Great Pretender
Phantom - Great Pretender
Rather an unfortunate choice of title for this debut from the gothabilly trio I reckon but the song itself is pretty good – sultry chanteuse vocals and suitably twangy guitar from Elsie Martins, solid bassing from her brother (or husband, not clear) Jonny and eerie organ from third wheel Lyndsay Evans.
B-side ‘Voodoo Romantic’ is a bit grander in scale and more gothy than rockabilly but once more gives a clear idea of where the band a re headed and what their strengths are. In no way are they the new Cramps but there’s a niche for them given the current spotlight on all things burlesque and loosely related.
