LOVE COME DOWN - BRAND NEW MIX
Written and Produced by Meritxell in summer 2008, and now with a pumping new mix by Martin Rushent. Here's what the nation's favourite music critic said when he first heard the song:
"Totally amazing!" Peter Robinson, Editor, Popjustice.com

Phenol's glittering career is only just beginning. A limited run CD-single Karoline resulted in a booking at Alan McGee's Death Disco, before they'd ever played live.
Fronted by Meritxell Lavanchy, Phenol's live shows feature Sean Bright on guitar, a new Mac and a keyboard bought on ebay – which is sometimes plugged in and sometimes isn't. While inventing a premise for the band is part of a wider creative experiment, Meritxell's focus is on writing arresting, danceable songs.
The band's influences are wide… from seventies pop, eighties indie, and nineties dance to classical and nu-electro, there's a lot to be heard in Phenol's indie-tronica mash-up. And if you don't like dancing, that's fine. The next tune might just be a slow, gothic, slit-your-wrists number
We've recorded with the amazing Martin Rushent, who's also working with Does It Offend You, Yeah? and was the genius behind The Human League's "Dare" .
We just played live with the very hot French Horn Rebellion, and at a warm up for Gary Numan at London's Club Noir.
