Glen Phillips has been making music for over two decades, starting as the 14-year-old frontman of Toad the Wet Sprocket. During that time, he's accumulated a sizable body of work comprising eight albums with Toad (which collectively have sold close to 4 million units) and three as a solo artist. His newest, Swallowed By The New - his first for Compass Records - is intensely personal album of his career and reflects Glen's mastery for converting raw emotion into sound. Featuring the bonus track, Nobody's Gonna Get Hurt.
'Swallowed by the New' is a lyrical piece of art exploring the new territory in which he finds himself�composed to process the pain of his divorce, Phillips' songs encompass timeless themes of love, grief and hope, conveyed with a warm and soulful accompaniment of instruments, harmonies, and lyrics written with heartfelt authenticity. - Motherchurchpew.com
