Acoustic music with electric instruments: An off-center fool takes on the world, the administration, domestic love and violence, poverty, frogs, and those who wrap themselves in the flag.
Bio / Background
Steven Brant has been kicking around the music business for decades, and the business has been kicking back. Bruised but undeterred, he and the Phantoms are giving you the business with a terrific new CD of acoustic music with electric instruments.
This time around, he foolishly takes on
- Spousal abuse (Run for Your Life);
- The guys in charge (Slow Motion Coup d’Etat; The Frog; Going, Going, Gone);
- The Guy in Charge (Mr. Perfect; Micah’s Song);
- Deceitful lovers (We Lie; Goodbye Song; Something, Something);
- Steadfast lovers (I’m Still Here);
- Phony patriots (Wrap Yourself in the Flag); and
- The economy of illusion (Slipping Through the Cracks; Look Away);
There are also a salute to the courage of Christopher Reeve (No Cane, No Cape) and a shout-out to departed friends (Promise).
And now a word from our sponsor: The Phantoms insist we tell you transparently they’re a band beyond belief, though I think there’s something fishy about the whole setup.
