ES Recommends: Phil Campbell

Every month, Ether Site will recommend a band or singer/songwriter we think you might like… This month, Ether Site recommends TB’s previous support act: Phil Campbell.

Last month Last month Phil Campbell supported our favourite duo across the United Kingdom. But he didn’t have long to rest. He is now support David Gray across the UK on 12 tourdates. Check out Phil Campbell Music.com for the full list of dates.

The support slot doesn’t come at a bad time….Phil Campbell will be releasing his digital single Maps (How I Feel About You) on the 14th of April, with a physical release (pre-order) the Monday after (21st). Phil Campbell played the song on his recent tour dates and you can listen to it again at his Myspace. The Sunday Times praised it as being “witty, self-deprecating, tongue-tied and charming and one of the best love songs of the year” whilst Music Week have hailed his music as having a “timeless, classic quality that belies his youthful years”.

On the 5th of May he will then release his new album. It is called After The Garden(pre-order it Amazon.co.uk here). The release will be on Safehouse recordings.

If you can’t wait that long, buy his 2007 album Joy here. This album features some songs that will also be on After The Garden. Check out an interview with Phil Campbell during the release of Joy right here.
