Phil and the
Osophers… Philosophers.
Such a fun pun (as
recognized by Teen Vogue), one
can only help but root for Philip
Radiotes to have the same amount of success with his songs, and hey, he
pulls it off!
Currently finishing up a new album From
The Rise of Fall (another smart turn of phrase), Radiotes and his band (there is no band) will release a series of
singles and music videos (also sharp as tacks) throughout early 2019.
First single “Bee Liner” is out now with a green
screen extravaganza on the way.
The sound is very much that of a Brooklyn-transplanted
San Franciscan, combining sunshine-y surf-rock with NYC swagger, blending folk
rock with Dub influenced African style guitars, heavily rhythmic drumming and
psychedelic world music elements.
As one might expect from a punny philosopher, Radiotes writes songs that will appeal
to nerds, thinkers, readers, fans of the Dead,
Dylan, Heads, Kinks, Cohen, and They Might Be Giants (and, likely, also to John and John of They Might Be Giants themselves.)
Seriously, though, philosophical ideas are the lyrical focus here, encompassing
revelatory, visionary, and transformative themes.
“The songs explore complex issues from wiretapping to
suicide bombings, technological isolation and overstimulation, immigration and
working class issues like commuting, and banking,” Radiotes explains. “Relationship issues are weaved in throughout to
speak to broader issues in a personal way.”
Radiotes realizes that he may come across as merely humorous,
but he wants to make sure that his deeper intentions connect.
“I’ve felt how strongly a song can affect a person and
I try to dig as deeply as I can to create songs that have that sort of impact,”
he says, and he has been doing that for a long time, creating a catalog of
songs that have landed Radiotes sync
licensing deals with CNN (“This Is Life with Lisa Ling”), Fox Sports, IFC, BET, VH1, TLC (“Say Yes To The Dress”),
and Viceland.
Radiotes takes on his next great role in the music video for
the From
The Rise of Fall single “Bee
Liner,” which makes use of the Fairlight
CVI, “an amazing, long lost video synthesizer from the 80s,” according to Radiotes.
Listen to the latest
single “Bee Liner” by Phil and the Osophers, out now. The “Bee Liner” music video is coming soon.
Look out for the latest Phil and the
Osophers full-length From The Rise of Fall this summer.
Phil
Radiotes is available for interviews.
