notes

Within one year of his band The Maggies' 'extended hiatus', lead singer/songwriter Philip Price has released not just one but two 'debut' solo albums. This is the first one (the other one is "Honey in the Chemicals"). Don't expect the full-blooded power-pop sheen of the Maggies in these songs -- this is Philip opening up his sound into an acoustic-based pallette, with softer colors, darker hues, and a different kind of narrative.

Always an ironically detached romantic, this time he has plunged into it and committed himself fully to the terrors of the lovestruck heart. There's little irony in these songs, but plenty of darkness. The same knack for hooks and melody that made the Maggies a singalong kind of modern-rock band are present here. The whole affair was recorded in a very demo-ey fashion right in Philip's home studio; many rough edges are present, and the production is minimal. There is nothing like a well-placed mike.

This album and its companion (Honey in the Chemicals) go beautifully together. So, skip today's dose of anti-bipolar medication, pour a stiff one, put your hand on your heart and some headphones on, and fall down the rabbit hole of love again. and again. -- Bill Eleven

  • Great CD

    Overall, this is a great CD. If you're into Philip Price and or The Maggies, don't pass this one by. If I had to compare it to his other material, I would probably say that "Honey In The Chemicals" is slightly better. Then again, that may just be because I've lived with it longer. His solo stuff in general (this CD included) is a bit mellower than The Maggies, but every bit as good! I HIGHLY recommend picking up BOTH of his solo CDs as well as anything from The Maggies.
