Phantom Dog Beneath the Moon is merely the latest name for the Irish duo of Aaron Hurley on vocals, guitars, piano) and Scott McLaughlin, who more than makes his mark on this twenty minute set with his work on bass, and especially on cello and vibraphone. The EP is a 3 inch and comes with a homemade sleeve. The sound is droning but reverent, but with the addition of live drums and the cello/vibe colors, there is a warmth to the record that is both comforting and slightly mystic. Not much else to say here, but for the fact that ideas abounding in such a short session are impressive, and makes one wish for more. This would be perfect for meditation or running, provided you want to do it quick. 7/10 --
