In Memory of Colin Thurston (1947 – 2007)
Phantom Dots take Duran Duran’s moody classic “The Chauffeur” and launch it into a more intense rock realm, heightening its sensual mystique with driving guitars and thunderous percussion. While the song’s dreamy lyrics and harmonic structure remain firmly in place, this fresh take bristles with raw energy, offering a dynamic contrast to the original’s eerie elegance. Dedicated to the late Colin Thurston—whose visionary production work helped to shape the iconic sound of the Eighties—this reinterpretation pairs the atmospheric allure of 1982 with our signature rock edge. The result is a passionate tribute that pays homage to the timeless charm of the original, while forging a powerful, contemporary path forward.
