Featured Song: Phantom Hound’s “From Boom Town To Ghost Town”

If you like your music equal parts moody and crushing, Phantom Hound’s latest release, “From Boom Town To Ghost Town” is just the jam you’ve been looking for.

Hailing from Oakland, California, Phantom Hound is a power trio that plunges new depths of heavy psych and stoner rock to conjure a sound too hallowed to be restricted by the genre conventions of “doom”. Signature to this band’s sound and aesthetics are their grunge influence and love of all things vintage, be it western saloons, scarred leather, or good ol’ fashioned American gothic.

“From Boom Town To Ghost Town” is a slow, methodical journey through American history, where black and white film can’t help but feel macabre. These grainy, faded memories marry the song’s themes well, about venturing back to places in your own past and discovering all that remains is a ghost town of what once was.

The song juggles between a melancholy reverie of American shamanism to a stoner clinic with a brutal, sludge-fest of riffs, transcendent solos, and a powerful vocal performance that you would follow anywhere.

Phantom Hound – From Boom Town to Ghost Town

Whether you prefer to pair their playing with a joint or bottle of whiskey, these riffs go down thick and Jake Navarra’s pained crooning are the highlight of every track of this upcoming album, like the previous music video release of “Gold Fever”.

Phantom Hound represents another outlier on Glory or Death Records, constantly pushing the boundaries of heavy psychedelic rock and roll that is simultaneously inspired by unique elements of the past and a fresh vision for the genre’s future.
