Lindsay Phillips

After fronting bands for well over a decade, Lindsay Phillips changed direction. Armed only with a guitar and a handful of arresting songs he stepped back onto the stage in 2005 as a solo artist. If you are fortunate enough to see him perform, it is his voice, all gravel and melodic charm, that will pin you. His songs are laments - haunted offerings to the lost souls of love. Whilst committing himself with integrity to this theatre of the romantic-macabre, Phillips still manages worthwhile achievements. He has played countless shows in his native Australia, toured parts of North America, and performed extensively throughout Europe. Following on the heels of two home-recorded EP's and his debut full-length VARNING, the sophomore effort TAEDIUM VITAE was released in April 2012 to critical acclaim, and shortly thereafter, the sombre NECROPOLIS single. Lindsay now resides in Sweden and his third collection of dirges entitled SOLGUDEN (eng. trans. - THE SUN GOD) is available now. Excerpts from an article by Stuart Reedy (Independent)
