I think the liner notes on the digital release of the remixes EP circa 2018 sum most of it up, so to avoid duplication I am citing that below: download ‘Point of You‘ must have been written sometime in 2012, in a practice room in Greece at a time when we already had a few…

Back on Track #12 ~ Magical Thinking
The idea for Magical Thinking came about around 2010. I remember playing the opening riff along with bits and pieces of the lyrics in a hotel we stayed at in January 2011 and I can clearly recall I have been trying that out for longer, and certainly a good while before that time. Lyrically, the…
Phase Back on Track #11 ~ Amethyst
*Article edited in November 2024 to include details relating to the remastered version, Amethyst (Resurfaced). The main riff of Amethyst came into existence an evening when I was hanging out at a mate’s house with another mutual friend of ours, during the exam period for the course all three of us were attending at the time…
The Wait reviewed on Noizy.gr
During an interview we conducted with Phase a while ago, they were telling us a bunch of things about “The Wait”. They said it was a “Phase” of recordings and various procedures, that it was basically a concept album in its own unique way and that they were actually… loving it! Well, it’s a good…
Phase Back on Track #20 ~ Birthday Song
It all started an evening I was hanging out with the Saint in his parents’ basement where we used to play when I told him about an idea I’d been having for a while; writing a Birthday Song that would be introspective rather than celebratory, and he instantly came up with that beautiful chord progression,…
Chris Tsantalis’ Review on the Wait – Poetry and Psychedelia
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
Here it is at last – our earnest effort! Ironically becoming available digitally on Record Store Day, making a point about the recent shift in the world of music mediums. From Edison‘s wax cylinders to Spotify, the essence remains surprisingly unchanged. The song remains the same… Don’t be mistaken though; we hold a deep love…
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. As explained, we have the…
Interview to noizy.gr about ‘the Wait’
Can intelligence be considered an inherent trait of a musician? The way they transform ideas into notes, their obsessions… even their fears… The manner in which this is executed can be subpar, as it can also be the essence of applied perfection… The Larissean Phase have stopped impressing me with their music and their use…
