Phantastic Ferniture is a garage pop group from Sydney, Australlia. The group currently consists of Julia Jacklin, Liz Hughes and Ryan k Brennan, have release materials on Makeout Records, Polyvinyl Records and Transgressive Records.
Phantastic Ferniture’s spiritual home may be the garage but they were born in a bar, specifically the hallowed basement of Frankie’s – a beloved pinball and pizza shop in Sydney. One late night in 2014, on Jacklin’s birthday, a group hug manifested amid the pinball machines, with all ten participants vowing to form a band. In the end there are 3 of them still remember and that’s how the group was formed.
The mission is obvious: Don’t overthink it. That’s evident in the urgent garage-pop perfection on Phantastic Ferniture’s self-titled debut album, and in the unconventional path the band has taken to releasing it.
