Peter Phippen’s fervent, emotive flute entwines with Paulina Fae’s ethereal vocals and Ivar Lunde Jr.’s introspective ambient soundscapes to form a ghostly world shimmering with melancholy, beauty, and wistful elegance. Each of THE PHANTOM MOON's seven compositions moves as a slow mist — unfolding with lingering intensity in a nocturnal environment, steeped in hues of mystery. The creative process was intimate and organic: the music arrived first, and Paulina responded with her voice — soft and silken, like lullabies sung across time — weaving non-lyric tones, whispers, and harmonies that drift between shadow and light. Interlaced with Peter’s haunting flute and Ivar’s textured atmospheres, the results feel both like memory and dream: a misty October night, tender and searching, haunted yet luminous. This collaboration is a soundscape where calm and longing coexist, and where music itself becomes moonlight — fragile, mysterious, and full of quiet revelations.

It all began in summer 2017 when Peter Broderick's former Efterklang bandmate Rasmus Stolberg invited him to perform at his new festival in Denmark, with the specific idea that Peter would play an entire set of Arthur Russell songs. As a long-time lover of Arthur’s work, Peter immediately accepted the invitation and began to learn a collection of Russell songs. Stolberg put together a band of Danish musicians to join Broderick on stage, and the festival performance went off without a hitch.
