About Lior

Lior Phillips doesn’t particularly like pie, but seems to dabble in many with growing fears of actually becoming one, some day. Based in Cape Town, South Africa she is a Freelance Wardrobe Stylist & Writer with a firm base in Brand Consulting. There are so many other-wordly bands out there she so often feels it unfair to have only been granted one set of ears. A stickler for detail and a lover of all things that are drastically oversized or undersized (E.G XXL mugs & travel size toiletries) her fixation with fantasy/sci-fi novels live on the same trajectory as her fixation with the world of music – both move and whirl vividly in her imagination; a fitting and introspective backdrop.

UK’s Swim Deep have released their video for “She Changes The Weather”.   Shot in New York City, the video provides thought-provoking visuals that put the sounds of Swim Deep into perfect perspective.

From their debut album Where The Heaven Are We, available July 29.

Debut Single: Max Frost “White Lies”

white lies

White mans got soul! Austin-ite Max Frost has written, produced and recorded a few singles to date but this one seems to have cracked its whip at my usual Anti-Pop tirades. The ‘pop-funk’ melody carries a mashup of hip hop sounds, and electronica instrumentals. A Gnarles Barkley-esque tune with some D’Angelo and Broken Bells drizzled over, it becomes an instant mood-changer. If you’re sitting you will probably chair dance – I warned you.

First Listen: The National “Demons”

Three years after a personal favourite 2010 album of mine “High Violet” was released, it’s no wonder the fanatical lovers of The National have been waiting with baited breath for the bands’ new single “Demons”. Within seconds of listening it was as if I felt the entire world’s hunched shoulders release with outbursts of sighs and grateful “FINALLY’s!” The album artwork for their sixth studio offering Trouble Will Find Me is a visually striking stand alone piece that now becomes the catalyst for their new music video below. Ear-hugging melancholy, the lyrics stand as an honest and open confession. The album is set for a May release and so far, expectations are met – happy Monday!
