Phase

Their debut, six tracks all written by the band.
Mildlife, 2018

Wikipedia dates it to November 2, 2017, the date of the single premiere, while Bandcamp and the Progressive Aspect point to February 23, 2018, which is probably the album. Per Bandcamp, McDowell plays synthesizers on every track, Rhodes on two and vocals on four; Halliwell plays guitar throughout; Tom Shanahan plays bass, James Donald drums, and Craig Shanahan congas on three tracks (the AU Review calls the percussionist Adam Shanahan, a conflict). Mildlife and Jim Rindfleish engineered it, Steve Schram mixed it and Joseph Carra mastered it. We found no studio or recording dates. The Progressive Aspect called the opener by far the most accessible and catchy of the songs.
