At a time of trap’s mega bass and the omnipresence of urban music, FANTOMES arrives against the current and dares to make carefree, sincere rock, drawing both on Nirvana’s powerful playing, the raspy voices of Pixies, and the pop fragility of Weezer. Fantomes is first and foremost an energetic duo, Paul on guitar and Mus on drums. Powerful guitars and teenage melancholy become one on “IT'S OK,” the duo FANTOMES’ first album, as brooding as it is radiant. “IT'S OK” sounds a bit like a French “we’re getting by,” and when the two rockers sink into the night, it is always to emerge from it with a light of their own. Like their logo: little worried-looking smileys that refuse to stop smiling.
