PHANTASTIC FERNITURE ANNOUNCE SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM TO BE RELEASED JULY 27

 

 

SHARE VIDEO FOR FIRST SINGLE "FUCKIN 'N' ROLLIN"

 

10 MAY 2018 (Toronto, ON) - Phantastic Ferniture, the delightfully lighthearted project of Julia JacklinElizabeth Hughes, and Ryan K Brennan, have announced a debut self-titled album to be released July 27 on Polyvinyl Record Co./Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company.  Today the group shared its first single, "Fuckin 'n' Rollin." 

 

The mission is obvious: Don’t overthink it. These artists' shared want to shake the shackles of their meticulously crafted solo work to experience a second, giddy adolescence is evident in the garage-pop perfection introduced today.

 

“I’d gone straight into folk music,” says Jacklin, “so every experience I’d had on stage was playing sad music with a guitar in my hand. I thought, I would love to know what it’s like to make people feel good and dance.”

 

Phantastic Ferniture’s spiritual home may be the garage but they were born in a bar, specifically the halloed basement of Frankie’s Pizza in Sydney. One late night in 2014, on Jacklin’s birthday, a group hug manifested amid the pinball machines, with all ten participants vowing to form a band. “Only four of us remembered the next day,” notes Hughes. 

 

United by fern puns and a love of leisurewear, the band met up whenever schedules would allow, writing songs and playing smatterings of dates to an increasingly devoted audience. Eventually it was decreed that this was no side project and an LP should follow. 

 

The result is one of the most enjoyable albums of 2018. “It feels really good,” Jacklin says with satisfaction. “It’s like having an alter ego.”
