Phil Tagliere | Slow

An extremely strong debut.
CD, Bong Load

Tekst: Maurice Dielemans

Publicatiedatum: 16 november 2001

While being in various bands in and around the area since 1995, Phil Tagliere has already gained some notoriety in the blooming LA music scene. Recently, he has returned from several successful shows in Europe, and his first full-length record 'Slow' will be released on Bong Load Records in early 2002. Mixed by Tom Rothrock (Beck, Foo Fighters, Richard Thompson, Elliott Smith) and not without the grateful help of such renowned musicians as Rick Shea, Ward Dotson, Bill Blonk, and Don Heffington, Phil Tagiere delivers a debut album grounded in solid songwriting and pure acoustic arrangements, along with an unabashed introversion and literate touch. As both a singer and songwriter, Phil Tagliere seems to be comfortable couched in the folksiness of such artists as Belle & Sebastian, Kings of Convenience, Elliott Smith, and even Simon & Garfunkel. But then there are pedal steels and mandolins added to his lively music. And with the influences of Richard Buckner, Gillian Welch, and Willard Grant Conspiracy, it is obvious that Phil Tagliere brings himself to a newer dimension of folk music. Though a few of the ten tracks on 'Slow' can be easily overlooked when listened to as stand-alone tracks, as a whole it's hard to deny that this disc is one of the strongest debut and solo albums of the new century.
