The artists involved have had fun making this – a great way to approach hip-hop & the idea of being confident & truthful; whatever your truth may be.
Whatever your expectations may be when delving into a new project from a solo artist, the detail & depth of this will blow them out of the water.
The music softens you, the words break you down, the changing pace reminds you how uncertain life is. A band with a shared love for artistry & expression.
Well & truly reigniting the flame for punk rock, ferociously expressing ideas relating to free thought & occasionally crossing over into indie-rock & blues.
A wildly interesting project. Explicit focus & intent relating to a fairly harrowing historical story offers a poignant & striking sense of artistry.
Phil Whiteley has a certain way with songwriting that is both widely accessible & distinctly unique. This new album was well worth the wait.
The strength & beauty is phenomenal, particularly considering there isn’t a single lyric or vocal part. A masterful composer & supremely skillful musician.
The artist’s voice, the vibrant energy of the instrumentation, the honesty – essential elements that make this an easy to enjoy, impressive new collection.
The band have crafted this collection with absolute consideration & skill, and not at the cost of that crucial creative freedom that makes it so unique.
You need to take these songs as your own for the full effect, to appreciate the creativity & expression. His writing really lifts him away from the crowd.
