Introducing phiz

A few months ago, Tristen reached out to me and asked if I'd be interested in releasing some collaborative recordings she'd done with Cortney Tidwell years and years ago. Obviously, I jumped at the opportunity. Both Tristen and Cortney have stayed in my regular rotation for the last.. decade plus! So learning that they had performed together was a surprise and a delight. Today yk records released two songs from phiz, the aforementioned collaboration. "i lost my fkn mind" and "If I Had Known" are very distinctly different songs but they both equally compelling in their presentation and simplicity. And of course the vocal play between the two is wonderful.

For the unique collab, I thought it might be interesting to make a unique physical manifestation of the songs. So, we put together a package for a Flexi 7". If you're not familiar, the Flexi is much like a traditional vinyl 7" but it's etched into thin plastic. Historically, a Flexi might not sound that great but technology has come a long way since the 1980s and I can honestly say this sounds great.

The photos were shot by Miles Price. The sleeves were printed by Risology Club. I'm always overjoyed to get to collaborate with people I enjoy so much and this was a great example of that.

The songs are on Bandcamp and Ampwall. They're streaming everywhere – Apple Music, Spotify, etc. The Flexi is in the YK Shop. Wherever you like to get your music, it’s there. Please enjoy.
