Recorded in December 1985, the self-titled EP by Phantom Tollbooth contained one of, if not the, first song to be characterised as screamo, following the Revolution Summer in DC a year earlier, and predating the early '90s scene.

One would be mistaken, however, to dismiss their hectic, emotionally raw post-punk and jazz-inflected art rock sensibilities as a mere footnote.

Way ahead of the curve.

A quotation from Norton Juster

You’ll find that the only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that’s hardly worth the effort.

Norton Juster (1929-2021) American academic, architect, writer
The Phantom Tollbooth, ch. 16 “A Very Dirty Bird” [The Mathemagician] (1961)
