Phantom Tails is a group I had heard once or twice on the current here in Minneapolis. I didn't know they were local until the Are You Local Show earlier this month. I was glad I could make it to the show because they are my new favorite local group. I just picked up their album "Sounds of the Hunchback Whale" I'm pretty sure they played every song from this album at the show. The opening track is very funny. Simple yet attractive guitar licks, steady drum machine, solid bass and some of the best synths I've heard since The Radio Dept. came out with clinging to a scheme.
I'm not sure what the singles are on this short album (only 8 tracks) but my favorite so far after 2 listens through the whole album has got to be The Oven of Romance or Light of the world. If you like garage band, psychedelic, light melodious metal you should give them a listen on Bandcamp. There is the type that since it is only 8 tracks might wait to see them live, or even a new album. I just met the lead singer and didn't press him on the subject. In a few months I will. Minneapolis wants more than 8 tracks.
