About

"A lot of my stuff is about love--from having it, to losing it. It is the most powerful thing in the world!" -Seth Philpott However, if you want your typical glamorized fairytale content, this Texas native is not who you should be listening to. The reality of Seth Philpott's music is intense and penetrating yet it points to vast truths and mature realizations about relationships. His lyrics are intimate yet never self-indulgent, very much heart-on-the-sleeve while the entirety of his lyrics feed like tributaries into grander designs. Contrasting the oftentimes firm black and white lyrics of the realities of love and truth, Seth's music can be described as a mix of 'blue-eyed soul' and lilting ethereal folk. His pastoral voice billows under the soft blankets of acoustic guitar while the beautiful, terse melodies resist easy sentimentality. Its been far too long since a singer/songwriter explored the connections between the luxury of soul and the humility of the acoustic guitar. It's a combination that surprises the listener; his sublime steel voice curls around the sepia-toned arrangements like brushfire smoke, while the source of his soulful creshendos unexpectedly rise out of him. The steady heartbeat of Seth's songs propels him beyond the flat line of anonymity. Songs shine from the acoustic simplicity of "Here With You" to the lush production of the emphatic "Heartbreaker".
