With its kitchen sink approach to making music and off-kilter duets, Brighton UK duo Peggy Sue's first full length release Fossils and Other Phantoms is a record to satisfy anyone's gypsy wanderlust.

Following in the anti-folk tradition, Fossils and Other Phantoms explores delicate and dark themes of self-worth, regret, longing-the kind of melancholy that creeps into your bones in the middle of the night well after a breakup or the death of a loved one-all riding over drummer Olly's urgent blasts of percussion and the firework pop of Rosa and Katy's searing vocals.

"There's kind of theme that runs throughout the album, because it was written over one period of time," Rosa said. "The process of writing songs is very therapeutic. It usually tends to come at a time when you need the outlet for something... There's quite a lot about what remains after something's ended and...absences that still occupy spaces and remnants of things that have passed."
