Ladies' Love Oracle

Grant-Lee's first solo album, Ladies' Love Oracle, was recorded over three days in a basement turned home studio. Here, Phillips takes the warmth and broadness of his work with band Grant lee Buffalo and internalizes it, producing a raw, yet focused acoustic work. Piano, pump organ and vibraphone fill out certain tracks but only to compliment the stark skeleton created by Grant-Lee's voice and guitar. As Phillips himself has been quoted as saying, "Sometimes a sketch says more than a mural." LLO bridges the gap between two phases of a legendary career and signifies the emergence of a refreshed and unchained songwriting voice, one that would go on to be proven as one of the most singular of the last twenty years.
