Fantasmes Redness Moon LP Out Today. Release New Video.



Fantasmes are excited to announce the release of their debut LP 'Redness Moon' out today with Last Bummer Records. This hypnotic psych-rock duo are comprised of Mario Negrón and Darío Morales - two close friends who began playing music together in high school, brought together by their love for 1960's psychedelia and avant-garde pop.  Fantasmes hails from the breezy beaches of Puerto Rico, and you can hear the ocean's influence on 'Redness Moon.' The record is spellbinding and soothing, with rhythmic rises and falls and heady acoustic riffs echoing the sonic flow of the tide.

In celebration of today's release, Fantasmes have released the official music video for their second single "Dance in the Shadows" (click the still below to watch). The video is a beautiful sepia-toned dreamscape that pairs perfectly with the song's chilled out, acoustic trance.

"What’s most interesting about Puerto Rico/NYC based band Fantasmes' latest album “Redness Moon” is not necessarily the obvious, but rather what is happening “underneath.” “Cloud Prepositions” emerges through a slow, purposeful, rising groove. Droning background pulses underscore prominent tambourine percussion, tubular-belled guitars and eno-esque treated keyboards. The vocals are muted and obscure, creating mood over storytelling"
Deli Magazine

"Complex and spellbinding in its lush movement of rippling rises and falls that envelops the listener in a transcendental sonic journey."
 Anthem Magazine

"creeping and hypnotic"
Bullett Magazine

"The Puerto Rican psych team does all their ‘60s predecessors proud on “Redness Moon,” a swampy, reverb-heavy ride into dusk, billowing with lazy riffs, desert drums and hypnotic festival vox."
RCRD LBL

"a perfect blend of personal favorites Velvet Underground and Sonic Youth, this band is a future classic. Make way."
Big Stereo

"Slow drum beats and guitar riffs with whirling vocals that are reminiscent of The Shins or The Beatles."
