“I still believe in the album format. It means something”

“I still believe in the album format,” says Phil Kieran, when I ask why he’s bringing out a long player rather than the more currently typical EP or collection of singles. “I still believe it has something to say, and to do. It might not be a career move, I’d love it to be successful and make loads of money, but as an artist I have to follow my gut and I believe in creating albums. Singles are fun, but they’re almost an easy option. I get bored, I like a challenge.”
