The Speed of Time

phoneswithchords, the solo project of Tennessee-based multi-instrumentalist Arthur Alligood exists somewhere in the vast chasm between a run-down Tascam 4-track tape machine and the expansive sonic soundscapes crafted by studio alchemists in the late 60s and early 70s. Over the past few years, Alligood has been quietly assembling a back catalog of gorgeous, introspective indie rock that fundamentally resists definition. These self-recorded artifacts represent a life lived, dreams dreamed, and a constant effort to find a balance between creativity and function.
