PHANTOM WHISTLER - CHAPTER 1

Album press description:
Society is in crisis - and we need guidance. One part medicine man and two parts adventurer, The Phantom Whistler is the Australian mystic and gun-for-hire blazing trails across the untamed Wild West. Sheriffs say he's an odd stick, a high noon drifter folding music into wistful states of consciousness; lawmakers paint him as outright dangerous, a counter-culture iconoclast with a dicey reputation/taste for treasure. He was last seen as one half of The Lone Wranglers, a duo dabbling with psychedelia and deep house rooted in the traditional Way of the Cowboy ('one of the most creative albums of the 2020' — Electronic Groove). Now he rides solo to unleash a modern spaghetti western that dares to ask questions.
Across 15 tracks, you'll find a cinematic saga evolving the supreme tradition of the Great American Frontier. Mind-expanding house and warm electronic ambience transmit with pacifying effect, and The Phantom Whistler juxtaposes moments of solitude and calm with a spiritual groove to preach a righteous truth. It's an organic sound, one leathered in the sun and rinsed in the open plain rivers. Provocative guitars, harmonicas, pensive samples and indiscriminate field recordings are pulled together by the outlaw's call card: a clear, crystallised frequency; a whistle born during cold nights next to warm campfires fuelled by dark prairie coal. Make no mistake: this right here is an aural tonic, a soundtrack to the greatest medicine ceremony ever assembled.
The ambient opener' Universal Wisdom' dispatches lessons amongst a lattice of synths and sounds. 'We are spiritual beings having a human experience', the sage guru relays, opening the circle in a didactic fashion.
A soft, deep house throb welcomes the listener to 'Project MK Ultra': Digestible melodies swirl around a shiny harmonica, a trademark whistle, and a vocal discussing past wrongs done by the powers that be; the massive breakdown a tight allegory for the societal tension looking to break.
'Strike the Match' is seductive, offering sweet leaf etiquette as a big middle finger to stifling authority. With guitars dripping in chorus pedals and a fat 4/4 engine, this one has it all: sex, drugs and rock n roll — Wild West style.
