review: The Phantom – EP 2
These days, discussions on the subject of electronic music will often, quite understandably, deal with the importance of innovation; there seem to be some critics who will dismiss an artist as “derivative” simply for displaying any hint of being influenced by another’s music. This comes as no surprise, as there are indeed many producers who make their living by churning out passable emulations of whatever sound is currently held in high esteem.
On the other hand, it’s important to remember that good records can be—and are usually—made without forcing the listener to “reinterpret the meaning of electronic music” or some nonsense along those lines. With that in mind, we turn to The Phantom‘s EP 2, a release that deserves to be noted not for challenging the status quo but rather for celebrating it, in the best way possible. Hit the jump for the full review.
