O DECEIT Single Reviews
"Lindsay's distinctive voice recalls M Ward or Henry Wagons; the song is beautiful but it's the voice that will stay with you. He plucks at his guitar with a feather light hand and sings a rich, quavering folk song, with just the faintest, almost gospel-like harmonies. Lovely."

LEGION /INFINALITY Single Reviews
"Speaking of distinctive voices, here's another one. According to Lindsay Phillips' press release, he's from "the shadows of Collingwood", but his deep, curiously-accented voice could come from the moon. Mannered vocals like these tend to polarise opinion, but if nothing else, Phillips' songs definately stand out from the legion of other acoustic song-writer-y types."
Clem Bastow - Inpress
"Lindsay Phillips has a tremulous voice, a warbling sound reminiscent of both Antony Hegarty and Elvis. His song is a gentle patter of folk and a lonely gem; rain on the windscreen and the occasional distant thunder while miles of road pass away beneath your wheels. Lovely."
Simone - Beat Magazine
"...Lindsay Phillips has been playing for some time now, honing his craft and impressing audiences and critics alike. His hard work is about to pay off, if this recent double A sided single is anything to go by...this is an accomplished yet effortless first effort, and one can only await the album with genuine anticipation."

AILEEN EP Reviews
"....I wouldn't give two hoots about Lindsay Phillips except he's too damn good. His 5 tracker Aileen is an outstanding collection of dark folk songs....it’s his voice which got me in. This doesn’t sound like some guy from Melbourne in his 20s?30s?....this affected croon takes me somewhere I have never been and suddenly I’m hovering above the smoky tables in some little folky dive in Greenwich Village in the mid-60s.....this can’t possibly be Lindsay’s natural voice, but it’s his chosen singing voice and it’s incredible." Nic Dalton - Half A Cow Records
"Lindsay Phillips is testament to the quality of Melbourne's solo performers. 'Aileen' is a shining example of the beauty of great songs. No synthesizers, drum loops or jagged guitars, just good old fashioned songwriting."
Andrew Worotniuk - Beat Magazine
"...Lindsay Phillips' boozy blend of, lets say, Antony Hegarty and Red Sovine makes for compelling listening; this 5 track EP melds gentle steel string with Phillips' moony voice and creates a moody, lovely - if slightly bonkers - soundtrack to wintry afternoons."
