About us


Formed in 2006 by songwriter and front woman Meritxell Lavanchy, Phenol began as an idea: recruit real musicians to play perfect, original pop songs - no strings attached. It worked. The band’s limited self-release, Karoline, caught the ears of Alan McGee, who booked them to gig before they’d ever played live.

And a handful of dates later, the band were sharing the bill with legendary Producer Martin Rushent. A marriage made in heaven it seems… Meritxell and Martin have been in the studio ever since, recording and mixing fantastic new material.

Phenol’s influences are wide. Roxy Music, Siouxsie Sioux, The Prodigy and Madonna, they claim… and you can just hear a little bit of all those…

The band’s latest live incarnation features Sean Bright, occasional Hot Chip member, on guitar, and Edie Langley, on backing vocals – fresh from work with luminaries like Ozzy Osbourne and KT Tunstall. Striking the perfect balance between commerciality and cool, Phenol’s two-girls-one-guy stage presence is a memorable mix – not what you expect from an indietronica outfit.

But then, neither is song after song of infectious, classic dance-pop, with tunes so instantaneous it feels like you heard them before…
