Melbourne singer/songwriter Lindsay Phillips possesses the uncanny ability to absorb the spirit of past greats, meld this with his own experiences and then forge the result into a sound which is entirely his own. Revolving around Lindsay's sonorous voice, razor sharp lyrics and dynamic guitar playing, his music transcends the simple tag of "folk" to become something else entirely.Lindsay's debut album, 'Varning' is epic in both its sonic scope and artistic vision, yet intimate and intense in its delivery. Like a great film or novel, 'Varning' slowly draws you into its private world; a world populated with threatening skies, wandering and disenchanted souls and dark tales of love and loss. However, there is an inescapable and powerful undercurrent of hope and beauty in these songs that lifts them from mere theatrical drama and sends them into the realm of the sublime.
