About Me

Philip Lindholm combines the beauty of '60s folk music with the grit of post-grunge Seattle, producing a new folk-rock sound in tune with the brighter and darker sides of the human spirit.

After graduating from Oxford, busking in Paris, composing at Juilliard, and acting in London, Lindholm played a number of lively shows in England where he was called "the male K.T. Tunstall." He has since returned to his native Seattle to record a debut record. Between home recordings and Seattle's famous London Bridge Studios (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains...), 2008 shall formally hear the first, but certainly not the last, from this promising folk-rocker.

Band Members: me
Influences:I once journeyed to the home of RACONTEURS. It was a peculiar land. The villagers were eating DEVIL'S RICE and SMASHING PUMPKINS in tune with the church bells whilst I ventured out of the forest. Luckily, I noticed in time that LED ZEPPELIN's were falling from the sky and causing young and old alike to RUN Down the Meadow's Crossing. Having come from ALABAMA, I was entirely unaccustomed to such A FINE FRENZY. Even the AIR smelled different.

Noticing my displacement, the leader of the local TRIBE approached me. "Welcome to the land CALLED QUEST," he said, with caution in his eye. "Here, you can pursue all the deepest desires of your heart, but you must be willing to leave behind the PETTY life of TOMfoolery you once knew." Confused, I said, "But I'm just a RADIOHEAD trying to find my way." The leader, with an almost METALLIC Anger, screamed. "That is your way?!? I am offering you a life of bliss and perfect love!"

I smiled, turned around, and went home.

Picture-Perfect Romance

I happened across a documentary on Edwyn Collins this afternoon. He was never a superstar, despite critic pandering over his band "Orange Juice," but "A Girl Like You" and "Leviathon" are pretty cool...

Phenomenoloy and Kiddies Supermix

So there I was, innocently plowing through a description of philosophical phenomenology, when it came over me. It was entirely appropriate given the circumstances, now that I think about it. Phenome...

Jack and Ronnie and Iggy...oh my!

As I return for another Spring in Oxford, I'm pleasantly floored by the Oxford Union termcard. In the past, I've seen them play host to the Sean Astin's and Morgan Freeman's of the world, but su...

MHD. No, it's not a barbiturate, at least not one you put in your mouth. "Music in High Definition." It's like MTV on steroids...but without Spring Breaks or reality television (!). It's now 9 a.m. an...

How to Write Great Songs

It's simple, really. People always talk about writing songs and how they need to go finish this or that tune. No! A great song leads the songwriter into a place where they can revel in ...

"Irish Drinking Songs" or "Why I Love Dive Bars"

I love dive bars. There, I said it. As I was making my way upstairs to the stage last night, in the dive bar of all dive bars, I encountered an otherwise distinguished looking man barbling in my dir...

White Chalk

I was surprised too. I know "Down by the Water" was a bit hit back when dirt was discovered, but I still could have cared less about PJ Harvey. Then I happened across White Chalk.&nbs...
