Brooklyn-based band Phantom Wave craft an immersive rock swell on new single “Woozy,” venturing from subdued bass pulses and jangling guitars into a shoegaze-y textured ardency. An exhilarating vocal tone arrives in that heightened culmination, asking “now what you got?” followed by depictions of “drifting forever.”
The moody verses conjure an atmospheric post-punk nostalgia, akin to The Chameleons UK, while the outpouring of emotion that follows struts an invigorating, heart-on-sleeve enamoring. A whirring title-referencing outro concludes it all with sating impact. The standout track represents the first single via the band’s upcoming LP, Echoes Unknown.
