Kingdom Phylum EP OUT NOW

About Me

Kingdom Phylum is a five piece pop outfit currently based out of Chicago. Since a culmination of several other midwest projects, Kingdom Phylum formed in the fall of 2005 and promptly set about recording their first full length effort. The resulting LP, "Leviathan" was released independently in April 2006 under the moniker "Shhh". The album sound, as described by Lawrence.com, "packs oodles of glockenspiel-tinted catchiness and sunny optimism whilst chumming the oceans of spacey guitar effects and vintage drum machines." Since that time the band has been refining their sound through a series of live shows and an assortment of new tunes. After recording a new EP, Kingdom Phylum has moved to Chicago. Following a tour of the East coast and Midwest, they will head into the studio to start the seminal stages of their next album.
