Philip Graham Voices upon voices upon voices upon voices wrapped around my ears.
This is another top-notch Bandcamp discovery, one that offers a musical world as unusual as it is enjoyable. Favorite track: Breaker.

about

This album is made up of two connected EPs - 'Abandon' & 'Halved'.

I owe a debt of gratitude to a number of people for their work in helping bring this album into being.

Firstly, I am so grateful to Laura Collins for her amazing visual artwork :)
Thanks to Nick McCorriston for recording the live choral version of Hypersephone, and to all the fantastic people from the Melbourne Uni and Philharmonic Choirs who sang on the track. Thanks also to Denni who contributed her amazing vocals to track 11.

I am HUGELY indebted to Thomas Morton, without whose skill, dedication and leadership the live version of Hypersephone would not have been possible.

Many people have contributed in various ways to the development and progression of this album, from transcribing the live choral arrangements to giving me audio tips to encouraging me when I've been frustrated with the long production process. I want to particularly thank Sam, Hannah, Anna, Oscar, Ginny, Louisa, David, and my extremely patient and supportive parents.

Such an interesting combination of sounds--a little R&B, hints of gamelan music, experimental electronica flourishes, and layered vocals. Somehow, it all works together nicely. Philip Graham
