前美国西岸另类摇滚大团Grant Lee Buffalo首脑人物,是一位唱作俱佳的全方位音乐人。创作中挟带着浓厚的低沉忧郁风格,可归类为哀凄体系(Sad-core)派别。Grant Lee Phillips,曾是 Grant Lee Buffalo乐队的领军人物。在取得一系列成绩后离开乐队做自己的音乐。2001年第一张专辑"Mobilize"曾获得广泛赞誉,2004年发表了第二张专辑"Virginia Creeper"(弗吉尼亚印记)。Phillips曾被 Rolling Stone选为最佳男歌手。他的歌曲大多叙述故事,揭示人性的悲剧、社会的不公以及过去的时代与目前的现实。这些歌曲就象Phillip说的:缓慢但坚韧的藤蔓,编织在一起,延展攀爬直诉心灵。他的音乐获得广泛认可,Entertainment Weekly(娱乐周刊) 称 Phillips 是"不可战胜的" ;而 The Chicago Tribune(芝加哥讲坛) 称Phillips"依然以流行的曲调保持了大师的触觉。"
After spending his formative years in Stockton, CA, Grant Lee Phillips headed to Los Angeles to study film. Finding himself beneath the spell cast by area bands the Rain Parade and the Dream Syndicate, Phillips soon joined with Stockton acquaintance Jeff Clark to form Shiva Burlesque. The band dissolved after two critically acclaimed records, and Phillips soon began writing and demoing under the Grant Lee Buffalo alias. Following some solo dates, Phillips invited former bandmates Joey Peters and Paul Kimble to join him, and the trio signed to Warner subsidiary Slash in 1992. Phillips golden, honey-soaked voice went largely to waste in Shiva Burlesque, but the new band enabled him to step out as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. GLB went on to release four very different LPs, consistent in excellence. A cult following, successful tours, and across-the-board critical acclaim (he was voted Rolling Stones Male Vocalist of the Year following their second LP) didnt translate into sales, however. Frustrated with his labels dead-on-arrival promotion, Phillips asked for his band to be released from their contract, and he was obliged. (It was erroneously reported that GLB had been dropped.) Phillips dissolved his band, anxious to forge a new path. In October of 1999, he headed to Jon Brions studio and recorded a handful of new songs, played exclusively by himself. Dubbed Ladies Love Oracle, it was self-released the following year online and at his numerous appearances at Largo in Hollywood. After landing a deal with Zoe/Rounder, Phillips issued the excellent Mobilize in 2001. The next year, Rounder reissued Ladies Love Oracle in time for Phillips joint tour with Kristin Hersh and Joe Doe. In 2004, he released Virginia Creeper, followed by an album of covers (Nineteeneighties) in 2006. Strangelet appeared in 2007 on Rounder Records.
