Red On

Phantom Easy

Where does pop start and experimental music end? Instead of drawing lines, Red On keeps on exploring the spaces in between these supposed poles with his album 'Phantom Easy,' a record that offers moments of pure beauty as well as unpredictable, uncontrollable wilderness. The spaces Red On moves in aren't per se terra incognita, but have been explored in recent years by like-minded musicians such as How To Dress Well, Fever Ray, or Dawuna, as well as artists that are affiliated with Präsens Editionen, where Red On's album is published, such as Martina Lussi, Belia Winnewisser, or Magda Drozd. Yet, 'Phantom Easy' is an exploration of its own: The melancholic album, which is informed by pop, electroacoustic music, rhythm-focused jazz, and krautrock, is carried by Red On's voice, which appears in ever-changing stages of alienation. The wistful tone of the twelve tracks is reinforced by single phrases sung by Red On that, through their repetition, develop an urgency that can hardly be escaped. The result is pop music that is brave enough to embrace the adventure; or experimental music that doesn't shy away from offering catchy hooks and grand melodies. Limited to 300 copies.
