PLASTIC BOROUGH

(LP)
Plastic Borough is the first full length release from Son of Philip. An elegant, transportative and beguiling listen, set firmly apart from the grooved-out garage heaters that first gained him recognition from heavyweights like Ben UFO, Overmono and Mary-Anne Hobbs. This 7 track album of gloomy post-club psychedelia features an intoxicating blend of fragmented synths against swirling, twisting and contorted sounds.

Complementing three of the tracks, including 9 minute mind-bender 'Infinity', are the eerie and beautiful vocals of Swedish singer Ylva Grönlund. On the EP's title track 'Plastic Borough', Tom is also joined by Matthew Farrell on viola da gamba (a 15th century cello), adding a majestic and cinematic undercurrent to the proceedings. The record follows a string of short form releases; his debut Play Monotonous (2021) on Wigflex, Me & Meds (2021) a collab EP with Lukas Wigflex released on Trouble Maker, and Allegory of The Cave (2022) Son of Philip's first appearance on his own label Bliss Print.
