Phantom Limb
Music: ****/*
Sound: *****
Music: Phantom Limb is a five piece from Bristol that describe themselves as 'soul/rock/country'.
The dominent force is Yolanda Quarty's spectacular soulful voice, one that's been favourably compared to Mavis Staples and been signed up for Massive Attack's next album. While their sound is reminiscent of others, it's hard to pinpoint precisely who and it's an amalgam that works extremely well.
Sound: Recorded in Bristol and mastered at Abbey Road this is a great sounding slab of vinyl with broad bandwidth and decent dynamics.
