Athena EP
Phantasy are delighted to introduce Greek duo Boys' Shorts for their debut EP on the label, âAthenaâ. The project of music obsessives Vangelis and Tareq, the Boysâ Shorts sound has helped redefine timeless strains of disco, house and Italo for Europeâs queer club underground, with similar charisma spilling into their collaborative productions on labels including Live at Robert Johnson, Permanent Vacation and Polari.
Boys' Shorts appearance on Phantasy is coupled with their most ambitious and fulfilling songwriting to date. Featuring a rare vocal performance from beloved selector and cosmic disco expert Budino, appearing alongside Elisa Paradiso, the instantaneous lead cut âSummerâs Here and Summerâs Missingâ recounts a sun-drenched romance cut short. The duoâs soft, bittersweet synthesis mingles with Budinoâs Italian-language lyrics, gently pulsing to find closure, or at least further pleasure, while up late in a Balearic discoteque.
Under those same hot lights, Boys' Shorts go deeper still with the leading oscillations of âStereo on Acidâ, in which classic, wobbly-hearted 808 sounds flirt playfully with a bassline that bumps like downtown traffic on a sweltering Athens afternoon. Reflecting the hidden pleasures and true underground culture of the city after nightfall, title track âAthenaâ is a sensual and sophisticated groove with an epic yet understated touch, that one can imagine soundtracking a future soiree or centuries of ancient history alike.
