New York-based dream pop outfit Phantom Handshakes is the duo Matt Sklar and Federica Tassan, who are preparing for the release of their new album, Sirens At Golden Hour, which will be released on August 21st.
They have recently shared its lead single “Good Intentions”, a track they self-produced in their respective home studios. It’s a shimmering blend of vibrant indie rock with a shuffling spirit, while also carrying significant emotional weight with a bittersweet nature about it.
Speaking on the single, they add:
“The track was self-produced by us in our respective home studios.The song explores how, despite our best intentions, we sometimes fall short of achieving the goals we set out for ourselves, possibly due to bad days, anxiety, or mental and physical issues. And It’s perfectly okay to take a step back, proceed at a slower pace, adjust our objectives. However, this can be difficult to accept in a society that values efficiency and success as top qualities.”
