Breakout alt-pop artist, Ricky Montgomery has released his new single “Unknown Phantom” today via Warner Records. Leaning into nineties alternative rock influences, he stretches the scope of his sound once again, pairing hummable melodies with an electric guitar-boosted chorus awash in dreamy, distorted fuzz. The track follows the release of recent single “It’s Ok To Cry,” paving the way for more music to come very soon.
About the track, Ricky says, “We wrote ‘Unknown Phantom’ on Halloween after my producer Tommy’s stepson walked into the studio wearing a costume with these red glowing eyes and scared me to death. It got us thinking about Halloween parties we had gone to as kids, and our early crushes and childhood memories in general. It all came together in just a few hours, and was instantly one of my favorite songs I’ve ever worked on.”
Meanwhile, Ricky is in the midst of his biggest North America headline tour yet—”The Rick Tour: Another Rick in the Wall”. He’ll cap off the 25+ date North American run with a sold-out show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on March 23rd before hopping across the pond for shows throughout the UK/Europe, Singapore, and Australia.
