• The Phantom Limb sound is an indefinable blend of classic southern soul and country blues. They blend modern songwritingand rich acoustic music with powerful gospel-inflected vocals. Already comparisons are being made to Mavis Staples, ArethaFranklin and The Band. Their honest, melancholic, Bristolian edge creates one of the most original and compelling newpropositions of recent years. • The group are epitomised by the fantastically bold yet intimately soulful vocals of Yolanda Quarty. The young 23-year-old has already experienced a world-tour fronting Massive Attack and provided vocals on half of MA’s hotly tipped forthcoming album (due late 08), the majority of which was incidentally co-written and produced by Robot Club (PL’s guitarist Stew Jackson and bassist Dan Brown) • The self-titled debut album was the brainchild of Robot Club production team, whose recent writing/production credits also include Will Young, Skin (Skunk Anansie) and Fortune Drive. The album was recorded at their very own Robot Club Studios (Bristol) as well as Rockfields Studio (Monmouth) and Caveman Studios (Bristol). The album was mastered and cut for vinyl at Optimum Studios, Bristol by Shawn Joseph and Timothy Dennen. • This six-piece’s unique sound has made an instant ascension within the industry. In March 2008 they played the famous SXSW in Austin, Texas, which led to countless festival offers including Glastonbury’s Jazz World Stage in June 2008 and a record deal with Naim Edge! • Debut single (radio edit) Don’t Say A Word will be released on 11th August on 7” and iTunes exclusive download. A promotional video will accompany the release (see www.youtube.com) - UK ONLY. • The bands line-up represents the pick off Bristol’s vibrant, almost incestuous music scene, including Dan Moore on keys (Elevator Suite/Cousteau/Andy Sheppard), Matt Jones on drums (Nuge/Emily Breeze), Luke Cawthra on lead guitar (Emily Breeze/Lena Rez/Nuge), alongside Yolanda Q (Bugs In The Attic), Stew (Milk with Ian Matthews, now of Kasabian) and Dan B (Ilya/Elevator Suite).
