“The music he creates doesn’t fall within
cookie-cutter patterns and avoids current trends, instead creating music with
psychedelic elements into structures that are pop-oriented. But he’s not just
another pop songwriter.” – Ghettoblaster

Phil and the
Osophers – About “Bee Liner” and “Endeavour”
“The vibe I want to get across with the ‘Bee Liner’ video is a cross between
the ‘Once In A Lifetime’ and
‘New Light’ videos,”
says Phil Radiotes of Brooklyn’s Phil and the Osophers about the music
video for his current single. Watch it now at Relix
Magazine. “My dad spent some years as a bus driver, so I knew the look
and attitude I wanted the bus driver to have, kinda cool and sweet. The bus in
the song arrives offering some kind of deliverance.”
The “Bee Liner”
video was made using the long lost video synthesizer from the 1980s, the Fairlight CVI.
“I was first unknowingly introduced to the Fairlight at five-years-old when I performed a karaoke version
of Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’ at a music service shop at
the Fashion Island Mall in San Mateo, CA,” Radiotes
explains. “I showed the ‘Bad’ video
to (‘Bee Liner’ director) Ken (Anderson), he posted a sample of
it to a few video forums, and found out it was a Fairlight CVI. We then tracked down what, to my knowledge, is the
only working Fairlight CVI still
available to use, and we convinced the guy who owns it to run our footage
through it.”
“‘Endeavour’ is
a different type of song entirely,” Radiotes says. “It’s my attempt to write in
Greek mythological terms. The central character is a banished mythological
figure, who still sees his love up in the sky in constellation form, as he once
was. Like in a Greek tragedy, he is hopeless, without chance to ascend back to
what he sees as his rightful place in the sky.
He can only watch as Orion moves into his place and opine about how he
has fallen from the gods’ favor.”
Listen to the latest
single “Endeavour” by Phil and the Osophers, out now. The “Bee Liner” music video can be seen here. Look
