Debutant

The King of Doublespeak

About Me

Debutant is one man; a guitar; a capo; a reverb pedal; a delay pedal; a fantastic new loop pedal; and some songs about stuff. Debutant really likes playing songs to anyone who is willing to listen.
For gig bookings (anytime, anywhere) just send a message.
"Debutant's music ignores genres altogether, sounding something like what would happen if Mark Kozelek and Kevin Shields had an afternoon, a spare room and a multitude of ideas. Definitely worth checking out live" - is this music? webzine

"DEBUTANT – Eternal Life - Debutant is “a one man project with a strong focus upon creating a lo-fi atmospheric sound to augment a sort of acoustic dream pop approach” so says Phillip. Phillip Quirie is Debutant and he’s deliciously quietly delicately achieved what he set out to do. This is beautiful; four basic home-made lo-fi bedroom recordings – delicate, basic, fractured, dreamy, creamy and very simple. Uncluttered and turning the lo-fi option and the basic equipment on to a warm positive vibrant less is so much more piece of beauty. Four dreamy textured lo-fi pieces/songs - simple words, simple acoustic guitar and delicate peddles, simples lines and words (simple artwork). A lo-fi dreamy Galaxie 500, Daniel Johnston feel (from Aberdeen, Scotland) and all done just so right."
