P H O E N E Glasgow / Paris 'UN' (6-track EP on C40 chrome II white CASSETTE + FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD *** SOLD OUT! > https://phoene.bandcamp.com/releases Credited as vocalist and songwriter on SAYCET's 'Through The Window' (released in 2010) and most recent album 'Mirages' (march 2015), Phoene Somsavath collaborated with Parisian electronic producer Saycet for seven years, adding her diaphanous figure to the live shows on laptop, guitars and keyboard. With Saycet, she played hundreds of shows, touring Asia (Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea), playing festivals from Mexico to Moscow, and performing 'Through The Window' live on stage in Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Luxemburg and Britain – as well as most of the cities in their home country France. After the recording of 'Mirages' was completed in 2014, she decided to relocate from Paris to Glasgow, dedicating the past two years to her solo project and crafting her own soundscapes. Since the creation of the project, P H O E N E has been very prolific and active with two EPs ('Dennistoun' and 'Anthem'), a split single with WOLF (ex Zoey Van Goey/Chemikal Underground), a series of tapes to be released on her own imprint F:rmat (with first EP titled 'UN' available on her Bandcamp), while playing numerous shows in quick succession in her newly adopted city, most notably as support for Loscil (Kranky / Ghostly International)in november 2015 and Braids in june 2016. Her music is a distillation of layers of fascinating, fine-grain cacophonies that fold and unwind into rich, organic beats and lush headspaces, tensing and releasing, leaning against oblivion. The track 'Eugene' has caught the attention of Brighton-based label Fat Cat who featured the demo on their website. ------------------------------ Past gigs ------------------------------ 2017 25.01 @ The Hug & Pint support w/ Half Waif 25.02 @ Glad Café w/ Cucina Povera, Lo Kindre & Morkebla 29.04 @ The Flying Duck - Crossed Wires 16.06 @ The Art School - Fuse 2016 18.10 @ Glad Café 'UN' EP launch w/ Brother Michelle 12.11 @ Festival of Light / East Pollokshields Quad w/ Auntie Flo, Alasdair Roberts 09.06 @ The Art School (Superzone) 17.06 @ The Hug & Pint w/ Braids 2015 13.03 @ The Old Hairdresser's (ELEMNTS) 26.03 @ The Flying Duck (FEKA) 10.04 @ Stereo (Philanthrobeats 3rd birthday) 24.04 @ The Poetry Club (Paraphernalia) 08.05 @ The Poetry Club b2b Arm Watches Fingers 12.09 @ The Glad Café (Save As Collective) 26.09 @ The Rum Shack (Apocalypso) 08.10 @ Broadcast (Lightworks: Installation) 17.10 @ The Hug & Pint w/ OKRAA 22.11 @ The Glad Café w/ LOSCIL 18.12 @ Petit Bain - La Cantine (Paris) 19.12 @ Le Module (Paris) Artwork 'UN' EP Holly McGowan http://www.hollymcgowan.eu/ P H O E N E’s tracks P H O E N E - Farrokh Bulsara by P H O E N E published on 2017-09-02T22:36:50Z P H O E N E - Distance & Displacement by P H O E N E published on 2017-09-02T22:31:09Z Gradient de Vitesse by P H O E N E published on 2017-06-22T17:54:36Z gYklLqwMM1_67 by P H O E N E published on 2017-06-07T15:57:21Z Hymns by P H O E N E published on 2017-05-20T19:32:25Z Changing Rivers by P H O E N E published on 2017-05-18T18:11:39Z Nyctalope by P H O E N E published on 2017-05-18T10:52:09Z DEUX - Lanzarote (preview) by P H O E N E published on 2017-02-09T15:11:26Z P H O E N E - U N - Mick Kelly by P H O E N E published on 2016-10-06T10:29:00Z P H O E N E - Pego Do Linho by P H O E N E published on 2016-09-05T13:00:45Z
