Born in Brighton, England and now hailing from Western Canada, Phontaine released 'aqui' in late 2001 under the name 'earball'. The appeal of the album reached all over the globe. "I just tried to make something familiar but fresh, something I'd like to listen to". Phontaine doesn't take a conventional approach to creating music; " I don't listen to music as most people do, I've always absorbed tones and timbres before notes and arrangement. I blend instruments, ambience and sounds and maintain the sonic quality of their era. I hope this brings a sense of nostalgia to the listener."
"It's electronic music for sure, but less abrasive than alot
of the stuff out there, I want it to sound as warm and authentic as possible, like warm 70's electronic music but with some new modern tones mixed in."
After the indie success of 'aqui', Phontaine had songs released on the compilations 'Blue Light One' (Upstairs Recordings/Nettwerk) and 'Global Groove'(Sugo Music) alongside Thievery Corporation.
The 'Bibliotec' (brighton sound recordings/Position) is his latest release.
His tracks can also be heard on film and T.V (Sacred Planet IMAX, Las Vegas, The O.C, Ghost

Feels Like Home
Phontaine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'cause this time it feels like home.
All the sounds that kept me feeling down
have been washed away when I'm with you.
Have been washed away...
The lyrics of Phontaine's song "Feels Like Home" express a deep-seated fear of abandonment and a longing for true connection. The singer pleads for their partner to not leave them again, highlighting the pain that has come from past experiences of being left alone. However, this time around it feels different; being with their partner feels like being at home. The negative emotions that once weighed the singer down have been washed away, implying that their partner's presence provides a sense of safety and comfort. The use of the metaphor of washing away is also significant as it suggests that being with their partner is a cleansing experience - one that renews the singer's sense of self and restores their hope for a brighter future. Overall, the lyrics of "Feels Like Home" express a powerful sense of vulnerability and the human yearning to find a place where one belongs and is loved unconditionally.
