Press Release
Just released on Fuego and available through Amazon: a 3 song EP called River Of Light by Phil’s early 90s band, Spirithouse. Recorded at EMC studio in Camden Town London in 1992, and produced by Eddie Mander, the songs were recorded between Backwoods Crucifixion (1990) and God Is The Other Face Of The Devil (1993). The title song “River Of Light” has never been released before, whereas the version of “Only You” included here is completely different to the version on God Is The Other Face Of The Devil. The third song, “Love Makes Her Shine”, later appeared on Golden Vanity by Phil Shoenfelt & Nikki Sudden, but the EP version is more like psychedelic pop than grunge. In fact, the whole EP is something of a departure and doesn’t sound anything like what came before and after! Many thanks to Alan Sanford (guitar), Jim Clews (keyboards), Andy Morgan (bass), Kevin Barley (drums) and Sarah Panton (backing vocals).
