Stream Sirens at Golden Hour from Phantom Handshakes

Visiting this site over the last few year means you’ve likely caught wind of Phantom Handshakes, a New York outfit we’ve been praising since their earliest days. With that, we’ve watched them move from a quieted dream pop act to something that adheres to the genre’s style while still blossoming into something that feels bolder and much brighter. Their latest record, Sirens at Golden Hour, is a huge leap sonically, as all the little corners and bits that typically get swept under the rug are allowed to exist here, creating an entire record of pop tunes that feel heavier, though holding onto the pop sensibility. The darkness of “Apart” is still one of my favorite tunes, but you’ll notice that the entirety of the album just feels larger than life, displaying just how far the band have come in their brief existence.
