Back on Track #2 ~ The Smile

I can’t think of a better way to open an album other than a bit of good ol’ Blake, can you? I was always fascinated by his artistic spirit and have spent hours and hours in TATE gallery looking at his artwork. I can clearly remember putting down the vocals in my grandmother’s house. The…

Interview to Daily Metal

  Phase? As far as I know, your started from cooperation with Microsoft as your debut. What was this cooperation about and what was the result?   Microsoft was running this campaign when we were starting off recording as a band and we thought we’d go for it so we secure the name ‘Phase‘ that…

Phase Back on Track #9 ~ Static

Now that’s a favourite one… Static was finished right before our second gig ever where it debuted as well… There are two kinds of songs for us the ones we first play live and then we record, and the ones we are recording beforehand. Static is a living example of the first instance, it being…

Phase Back on Track #4 ~ Transcendence

Transcendence was created, out of the first bunch of ideas I’ve been hoarding; and for a while, there was just the first progression standing there along with the first verse… Touching ground, held by an unseen bound / for western star drags me way to far / to find you my love, to build a connection…
