Phantom Handshakes – “Wisdom”

---

Do you sort of want to feel like you’re adrift underwater in some perpetually floaty stasis? If so, Phantom Handshakes has you covered – their latest offering, “Wisdom,” is an aquatic trip delivered with a shoegaze-y/bedroom-pop feel. Far-off vocals lay atop hazy instrumentals that feel and listen like a dreamscape. The meaning behind the song is equally profound – see below:

 

“‘Wisdom’ is a sort of pagan prayer to a pagan god… It is an appeal to a supernatural force to descend upon the earth in the form of dust and seep into our skin, making humanity less petty and cruel, and more wise and generous. A plea for a miracle.”

 

Far out, man.

 

“Wisdom” can be found via bandcamp, embedded below for your convenience, or, on Spotify.
