War Of The Weakening Phantoms

The album War of the Wakening Phantoms is a brilliant recording of jangle, psychedelia and colorful melodies: reminiscent of a psychedelic-ized Squeeze backed by The Clash. Their fantastic song structure would surely make the guys in Teardrop Explodes and Echo and The Bunnymen gush with pride. The band cites many influences affecting the sonic textures of A New Devotion: Pink Floyd, Love, CSNY, John Barry, Air, Blur, the Kinks and Curtis Mayfield. Trevor adds: "We wanted to keep the R&B grooves and rich harmonies...there's a wider range on this record, some quieter moments too."
