I like Phase and the most prominent reason is that they are inquiring minds… I couldn’t expect anything less from some restive spirits, and the Wait is what should have come to engrave them in my conscience! How would you like if David Bowie was in a chareem jamming along with The Tea Party? How would…
Dave Wolff’s Review of the Wait
The latest in a long line of independently recorded and released recordings by this experimental band from Greece. If this is your first exposure to Phase you might find it difficult to believe they have this much staying power sans label backing. But they’ve managed to remain consistent releasing material and keeping it fresh and inventive…
Digital Stimulation
So here it is at last! Our earnest effort… And what an irony to be released digitally on the record store day… You see we live in an era of one more big shift in the artistic mediums… From Edison‘s waxed cylinder to Spotify the essence remains really the same… The song remained the same……
Lie There in Wait, Static
Q:“Static” was and still is my favourite track. Splendid lyrics and music, food for the brain! What was your main source of inspiration for the upcoming album? Thank you so much for your kind words, It’s really one of my favourite songs and it’s really consuming me on stage getting me wrapped up in its…
A Feast of Friends
Q:“A Void” there to avoid… Tell us about the video and the collaboration with artist Afsoon Shahriari. It’s the biggest affirmation and reality check for us when we have wonderful people like her respecting our output so much… It’s like being lost in the highway and seeing with petrol running low and suddenly seeing a…
What Really Defines a Work of Intellect
Q:“Looking back will show what defines you”. Does your past define you as artists or do you focus in the present time and/or future? Well our past formed us to become the artists we are today, but what will really define us as artists is our future… Our second album will come to support and…
The Wait’s Cover Art
Q:[…]Speaking of whom (Alexis Marcou) and his beautiful art we have the honour to present what he’s done for the Wait for the first time. Your album cover is a bit abstract, just like your music. Tell us about it. It is exactly like our music to be honest… Like I told you we are…
the Rock in Crisis and the Struggle for Ideals
Q:In Greece of recession, do you think there’s future for art or is it endangered to extinct due to financial breakdown? But isn’t it that in major crisis art blossoms…? And I believe it shouldn’t function only as a release valve, but to step forward and give the solutions first… What is your psychotherapy? My notebooks….
Wealth vs Glory
Q:Glory or Money? Being Achiles‘ neighbour myself, posthumous fame couldn’t have bypassed my mind without preoccupying it even to the least in the past… I think I have dismissed as much as possible the arrogance in me and the greediness for praise though. I hope I haven’t missed the plot like Alexander the Great and…
on the Greek Audience
Q:What about Greek music scene in general. How well are you received by Greek public as a band? It depends on the city, we can either pack places or count the attendants using our fingers. We are known by name in the alternative circles, but Greek listeners have weird patterns and habits and we are…
