With an abundance of generic start up indie bands floating around, sometimes it feels like it's getting increasingly harder to filter those who are worth getting excited about from the repetitious kind that leave you feeling lukewarm at best. Fortunately, Brighton newcomers Phantom Runners are an exception who are developing a well deserved buzz about them throughout the UK with their wistful lo-fi/dream pop sound reminiscent of 80's English Indie Rock bands such as The Smiths, The LAs, and The Stone Roses.
'It Takes Me Away' is an airy, apparitional track thats contagious pop melodies, easy listening lyricism, uplifting guitar hooks and refreshing bassline all fantastically fall into place in such a way that leaves you feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and revitalised. Check out the VHS tinged video that accompanies the track below.
Debut single ‘It Takes Me Away’ released through Stray Cat Records on September 23rd 2013.
