Description
It is only recently that Phil Cook's story has turned from one of a departure, to that of an arrival.
Southland Mission is a soundtrack of shared experiences and Phil's purity in leadership is self-evident from the moment the needle hits the record.
The songs have no prerequisite, no pretension. Instead, as a collection, they call on listeners to witness and immerse themselves in their own journey.
Placing focus on the way the tracks make them feel in lieu of searching for superfluous descriptors and categories. Each track is a palpable glance back at the heritage of a our shared musical culture, subtly encouraging what will be a vital shift in keeping true artistry alive.
Things tend to come into focus after a long journey, and this record is no exception. The lyrics tell stories of loss, layered with sentiments of self-doubt and intermittent promises of change.
The compositions are Phil's testament to truth in music, integrity in creativity and reverence for those who paved the way for these sounds to fall on our ears.
Southland Mission is certain to compel you to stomp your feet, pump your fist, and sway and spin with reckless abandon.
Phil's mission is far from complete, but for the first time in his life, it seems to be clear where he's headed.
Undoubtedly, with this record as our induction, we are all in for an epic ride. -
