About Me

Whilst Phil Critten has always loved lots of different types of music, he could never find an all-time favourite band. As he searched for his all-time favourite band, Phil thought it might be a good idea to create some examples of the types of songs that his favourite band would play.

Phil realised that he should carry on doing this because other people might like his favourite band as well. The band in Phil's head is called 'i am error', and now Ed Raison, Chris Peters and Jake Slocombe have joined in to help send this achingly fresh and beautiful music to everyone. Listen out...
