Legendary Goth rockers in a Balearic classic shocker!!! Yes that’s right, the big-haired and heavy black eyeliner band Sisters of Mercy is today’s SOTD!

B-side to the 1983 12″ release of Alice, this slow-mo/low-slung track is apparently a favourite of a certain Daniele Baldelli. Fitting nicely with the cosmic aesthetic, Phantom carries a hint of melancholy (well, it is the Sisters of Mercy) but has one hell of a groove, which should make even the most ardent Goth hater investigate this hidden gem. See it as a ‘Goth not Goth’ number. If you know what I mean.

Right, where’s my eyeliner gone? Alan??
