Phantoms is the third studio album by the English new wave band the Fixx, released in 1984 by MCA Records.[3]
It contains the American hit "Are We Ourselves?", which reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1984. The song hit No. 1 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart, staying at the summit for several weeks. It was also assisted by a popular MTV music video. The album's cover art was provided by George Underwood, who had also provided artwork for the band's previous album, Reach the Beach (1983), and went on to illustrate future Fixx releases including Calm Animals (1989) and Beautiful Friction (2012).[4]
