Greasy Hands

Phantasmagoria

Phantasmagoria, the latest single release from Greasy Hands, takes you on a whimsical adventure of dreamy proportions.  The song and video showcases the Baltimore-based band’s versatility while highlighting their uncanny ability to create dynamic compositions full of emotion and candor. Phantasmagoria literally means “a sequence of real or imaginary images like those seen in a dream,” and the concept behind the video ties directly to its definition, as we watch our lone character drift into a dream world where there is much to behold and little to be understood.  

But was she dreaming?

Directed by Mike Jon and produced by Greasy Hands, Phantasmagoria is the latest single/visual coming out of Greasy Hands Land and the fourth selection from the bands much anticipated first full length album, released Fall 2018.  Follow the frictionless path to your salvation and get Greasy with the band that is already playing the soundtrack to your next adventure.  

About the ALBUM

Greasy Hands’ long-awaited self-titled debut album is a recording that could have only been made after nearly a decade of honing an eclectic but cohesive sound that feels equally at home in singer-songwriter territory and laying down some serious funk. In other words, it was well worth the wait.

The eponymous 13-track album was recorded at Mobtown Studios in Baltimore and Israel Nash’s Plum Creek Sound in Austin with engineers Mat Leffler-Shulman (Future Islands) and Matt Gerhard (Spoon) and mixed in collaboration with Evan Daniel Kornblum (Pocket Bells) at Stages Music Arts.  Mastering work was masterfully executed by Alex Saltz (Vampire Weekend) of APS Mastering.

The record is a triumphant showcase of the group’s musicality with tracks ranging from heart wrenching ballad to fantastical progressive composition. While the band often uses live shows to flex it’s improvisatory muscles, the Greasy Hands collective is equally at home in the studio and uses the medium to expand the sonic possibilities of its texturally robust song list.

About the band

From soulful soliloquies to complex compositions, the group benefits from a multitalented collective of songwriting musicians who enjoy taking listeners on a funky roller coaster ride through intergalactic dimensions of space and time.

The Grease has been spread far and wide over the years - flowing up and down the East Coast from New York City to Birmingham Alabama and has seeped west through the foothills of Appalachia from Asheville to Austin.
