Phantasmagoric is an album produced by a woman and a man by the names of Grace and Tony (respectively). Their style of music has a Renaissance-like sound to it, very string oriented with subtle drums. They tell different stories in each song.
The songs are constructed beautifully with very unique, enticing melodies and structure. This music is upbeat and joyful, shaded with a dark, brooding feeling that mixes so sweetly. Most songs are very good for dancing to, like: A Fever On The Cthulu Queen – especially because it is instrumental.
Overall, they use instruments like a guitar, strings (violin-like in nature), and a drum set. Both Grace and Tony have incredible, piercing voices, and you’d swear you hear angels singing when the two singers harmonize. A few of my favorites from this album are Adam Of Labour, The 1, and 072713, but don’t mistake those for being the only good songs, every single one this album is fantastic.
All of the sounds blend together perfectly to make an enchanting album that transports you to a time of Knights, castles, and sorcery. The songs are all very different in themselves, but they retain the same style/genre. This is a very beautiful album with a professional and original sound, I would absolutely buy it.
