Today we premiere the latest single from Chicago’s Jontan “The Only Man You Need.” The song is built on that classic 70s soul sound. Its rich and smooth textures are the foundation of a quintessential boy-meets-girl story. Listen at the link!

Phantom Handshakes explores themes of twilight and emotional depth in their latest album Sirens at Golden Hour. The dream pop duo is Matt Sklar and Federica Tassano. They perform live as a 5-piece alongside Meghan Seeberg, Matt Billington, and Brian Alvarez. Sonically, the release expands on their lo-fi soundscapes, while they touch on themes of hope, despair and the climate crisis. We connected with the pair to discuss instinctual songwriting, measuring success and more.
