The songs by Phantom Horse on this split LP are companion-tracks to the Hamburg/Nijmegen duo’s “Mehr Null”-album which came out in late 2020. While that album showed a darker, more nightly character, however, “Vapor snake” and “Was drauf” sound like their more playful counterparts, bathing in the bright light of day.
“Chain smoke rings like a vapor snake kiss. She says she don’t know why.” That’s what the voices in your head might whisper while you’re listening to “Vapor snake” by Phantom Horse, characterized by the band’s typical lightfooted melancholia echoing through these words. After that, things take a brighter turn on the 12-minute neokraut weirdness of “Was drauf” – imagine a sunburned android fueled by amphetamines frolicking happily through a meadow singing your favourite song.”
