*300 copies limited release* "Fantôme Josepha is a duo from Metz, composed of Josepha Mougenot and Arnaud Marcaille - hypnotic, heady and playful rhythms. An organ matched with muffled vocals and undulating synth lines. The electronic pop and post-punk influences are strongly felt. Ominous chords and distant screams that fade away. A hazy approach to folk ballads, sometimes leaning towards 70s progressive folk, but whose softness is softened by Mougenot's voice. Rather than transcending their low-fi sound, Fantôme Josepha seems more focused on exploiting its dramatic potential and power." - The Quietus, David McKenna
"There is a scent of nostalgia emanating from Fantôme Josepha's new album that is quite disturbing. Memories blend together, periods merge as the songs unfold. We love to dance, arms floating in the air, staring into space, sheltered in a flying disco ball crossing the galaxy in a halo of glitter. We love to float on an astral plane in the shape of a pentagram, arid beaches and abundant dunes as far as the eye can see. We love cheap horror films to watch on stiflingly hot evenings. We love trance, we love drugs, we love boiling blood and hands that play, voices that vibrate and screams that liberate. We love to live through the lens of ‘death's telescope’." - Florian Schall, La Face Cachée
« ... The sound is quite French and ranges from post-industrial balladering to RIO pop confections to left field folk assemblages. This makes it sound as though their approach is too wide-ranging, but all the various parts are really well done. So get loose and listen up. » - The Wire
