Underground Turbines: The Story of the Windmill

lyrics, voice, bari uke, keys by Joe Meland
vibraphone by Justin Peters

outstretched like a shadow from the light invading in / a window shuts the streetlamp / this i wrote cause i'm alone again / another night spent in the dark / and calling out to anyone

your body moves with confidence / a storm with reckless path / help me find stability / cause i'm dancing on the edge / even though i'm unbalanced and thin / so let your wind flow through me

you were near me for a moment but i couldn't make you stay / all this time i'm thinkin / i know it's okay / cause i'll be here anyway

You were near me for a moment

The Phantom Broadcast is an alternative rock group from Chicago, IL (formerly Urbana, IL) stemming from multi-instrumentalist Evan Opitz. 

We aim to create music that pushes the boundaries of Indie Rock and Pop music with the influence of Folk, Jazz, and Classical elements. The result yields instrumentation atypical to rock music, lively improvisation expanding from shorter recorded versions of the songs, and a new approach to the performance of each song every time it is played. Our influences range from Radiohead and Fleet Foxes to Miles Davis and Claude Debussy.

Over the past 5 years we have released two full-lengths (Orphic Hymns, Until Next Time) and one ep (Sublimation Love) as a full band. We are currently finishing up our most recent Self-Titled record which we tracked at Earth Analog Studio by Colin Althaus (Tara Terra) and mastered by Rick Fritz (Audiotree). With our new music in hand we plan on taking to all of the midwest.
