Description
2025 repress on purple swirl vinyl, includes download code. Toad the Wet Sprocket front man Glen Phillips dives into the joys and sorrows of everyday life with help from Dave Depper (Death Cab For Cutie), Ji Tanzer (Blue Cranes) and John Morgan Askew.
"I've seldom allowed myself to stay in one place for very long," Phillips says, explaining the genesis of 'There Is So Much Here'. "I was lucky during the COVID lockdown to move in with my girlfriend, now fiance, and to stay home for the longest stretch I've had since the birth of my daughter, 20 years ago. After a life of travel and seeking out peak experiences, I began to appreciate the subtle beauty of sitting still."
The 11 tracks on Phillips' 2022 album are informed by the time that the pandemic shut down allowed for reflection, moving between quiet love songs and rockers that consider the multi-faceted meanings hidden in our everyday lives.
Glen Phillips has been making music for over two decades, with a career that began as the 14-year-old frontman for Toad the Wet Sprocket. Since then, he's accumulated an esteemed body of work comprising eight albums with Toad (which collectively have sold close to 4 million units) and three as a solo artist.
