Best known as frontman for 90s alt band Toad the Wet Sprocket, Phillips has been honing his craft as a singer-songwriter for the better part of three decades. Releasing solo material and collaborating with renowned musicians from all walks of life, he is back with his first full-length solo album in a decade, Swallowed by the New, which tackles some of the heaviest subjects in his career.
"Vocally, Glen Phillips has matured into — especially when he gets riled up — a quiet storm that dutifully blends Cat Stevens' confident huskiness and Jackson Browne's weary but warm observer of all things broken" - All Music Guide
