Society is in crisis – and we need guidance. The Phantom Whistler is the Australian mystic and gun-for-hire blazing trails across the untamed Wild West.
He was last seen as one half of The Lone Wranglers, a duo dabbling with psychedelia and deep house rooted in ‘Way of the Cowboy’ (‘one of the most creative albums of the 2020’ — Electronic Groove). This time he rides solo, unleashing a modern spaghetti western that dares to ask questions.
Uone has graced us with a modern rarity: a 15-track full-length concept album, ‘Phantom Whistler’, that pays homage to the Wild West.
Across Phantom Whistler you’ll find a cinematic saga. Mind-expanding house and warm electronic ambiance transmit with pacifying effect, and Uone 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, and indiscriminate field recordings are pulled together by the outlaw’s call card: a clear, crystallized frequency; a whistle born during cold nights next to warm campfires. Make no mistake: this right here is an aural tonic, a soundtrack to the greatest medicine ceremony ever assembled.
Creative. Absorbing. Totally neoteric.
With the philosophical lines drawn, the BPMs and intent are cranked on ‘Thought Control’. The only way to highlight the incendiary message (‘we don’t need no thought control’) is through confidant guitars and sleazy drums working in tandem with bass so thick it would take 10 lasso ropes to contain its power. This is a cosmically enhanced groove of the highest order.
Release date: April 7th, 2023.
