“Webb proves that the simplest equation can be a winner as long as the heart is there. Webb’s raucous vocal tales make him sound like he’s sur-
vived two wars and lived to tell.” – Black Book on TK Webb’s last record KCK

“Webb’s foremost talent is his phenomenal guitar playing. In every song he mixes muscular open chords, taut finger-plucked leads, and nimble
thumb-picked bass lines. The resulting sound is so complex that, listening to one of his albums, you can easily mistake his lone guitar for three
different instruments.” – Index Magazine on TK Webb’s last record KCK

To say we are pleased to release TK Webb’s latest record, Phantom Parade, would be an understatement at best. When we first heard TK play this
material last year anticipation at The Social Registry began to mount. His previous record KCK had not even been released and he had already
begun fleshing out a lot of this material while collaborating with Shannon Funchess. We still have a message on our answering machine TK left
in the wee hours of the morning as he considered whether it was appropriate to play all new material at his record release party. As a duo, with
Shannon’s wild singing and almost primitive percussion, TK was able to open up the breadth of his songwriting. By this point he had taken a box
cutter to his dreadnought guitar adding a second pickup closer to the bridge bringing out a heavy bottom end, which when manipulated with a tape
echo, formed a rhythm section for the two to build on. A few months later, TK enlisted Jared Eggers and Tim Shrider, of Brooklyn outfit Silent City,
to play bass & percussion. TK managed to keep these new additions to his band under wraps, surprising everyone when he took the stage with a
full band behind him at a support slot for Black Dice’s homecoming show at Irving Plaza.

Nicholas Vernhes, who shared our excitement for this material after seeing the band live, volunteered to record at his studio The Rare Book Room.
Phantom Parade is certainly TK’s most ambitious and fully realized recording to date, in the over thirteen years he has been playing music. At 28
years old, having been an in-demand guitar and harmonica player for years, having played both as sideman and solo artist all over the country, and
playing an average of a show a week in NYC over the last three years, TK came to this record with a wealth of experience and drive. You can hear
this passion in the recording and you could hear it as he was making it, pushing the band in the sessions, treating every moment in the studio like
it was his last. He even got Nicolas to sweat through a few days wrapped in a blanket riddled with a case of the flu. If you listen closely to the last
track, Classy, which has Toshi Yano of Kapow playing a Fender Rhodes, you can hear the confidence as he calls the band back in from the changes
with a whistle. Phantom Parade is a record versed in the American musical tradition, woven out of everyday experience, and TK’s voice is riddled
with the kind of gruff character that speaks volumes and contradicts the passive androgyny that permeates so much indie-rock today.
