Patrick Phelan

Citing the “blissful British noises” of early Smiths reports as his first way to obtain inspiration, Patrick Phelan provides over time think of a minimalistic formula for equalize of type and emotion. He started working as an associate of Richmond, VA, music group South in the past due ’90s. South released its self-titled debut record in 1999, with Phelan performing as vocalist, keyboardist, guitarist, and pianist to Nathan Lambdin’s electric guitar, key pad, and vibes. The record was cerebral without dropping into clichéd artwork rock territory, because of Phelan’s serene vocals as well as the band’s enabling the music to ebb and stream texturally, instead of forcing it in a single particular path. That same calendar year, he added vocals to Drunk’s Elevated Toward and electric guitar and drums on Tableside Manners. In Oct of that calendar year, he co-produced and performed piano on Spokane’s Amusement and Other Music. 2000 also noticed the discharge of his initial solo effort, Tracks of Patrick Phelan, which highlighted Phelan’s tenacious creation beliefs and glacial electric guitar function and Paul Watson’s sensitive, muted cornet playing. Parlor, Phelan’s second, even more ascetic release, arrived in June of 2001. Four years afterwards, he issued Price.
