Philip Seth Campbell City Lights CD 2023

An amalgamation of Philip Seth Campbell’s life and career up until this point, ‘City Lights’ unfolds like a series of cinematic snapshots, captured in timeless technicolour. From the shimmery and synth-heavy, widescreen opener “Magical West” to plucky ballads like “Break The Curse” and “Sober Boy” and from the bluesy soulful title-track “City Lights” to riled-up and rocky “Gut City Blues”, Campbell traverses time and genre with a deft sense of musicality that glints and glimmers like an unearthed trove of deep-buried treasure.
