Phantasia is a band that is slightly unique on Richmond label Beach Impediment. The New York City sixpiece put out a demo a couple of years ago – a weird pop record halfway between jangle, synth and goth. Last month their first album Ghost Stories came out and it succeeds on the strength of the songwriting – influenced by The Feelies and Pylon. The 9 tracks range from gentle to despairing and is hard to resist.
