Helsinki electronic duo Phantom are a very new band– as in, they formed at the beginning of this year (according to their bio, anyway). They have one EP to their name, Scars (listen to it here); the xx recently posted up the video for this title track on their Tumblr. Check out the eerie, effects-laden clip here.
This is it. Just a few months ago, January 2012 to be exact, two musicians from Helsinki united their forces and formed a post-indie electronic duo Phantom. Tommi Koskinen and Hanna Toivonen debuted and released their Scars EPand music video in SXSW 2012, and their music has created some buzz on the net in the last few weeks.
Scars‘ beautiful video is made by Studio Lumikuu. If I’m right, the effect is made with Xbox Kinect and it makes the video quite similar to Echo Lake’s Young Silence and of course Radiohead’s House of Cards. I still think it’s very well done and it takes the whole visual concept a step further.
You can listen Phantom’s Scar Ep via Soundcloud and find them on wearephantom.com and Facebook.
