By this fall, singer-songwriter Sam Phillips will have released five EPs and a full-length studio album. She’s taken the step of making her music available through The Long Play, a subscription-only service on her website that gives members access to new songs.
Phillips says she is recording the music as she goes along. So far, she has released two digital-only EPs, ‘Hypnotists in Paris’ and ‘Cold Dark Night.’ Three additional EPs will arrive as well as a full-length digital studio album due out in the fall. The money coming from the subscribers (a ‘Long Play’ membership is $52) will shape the costs in creating the music.
“You might hear that things may get a little lush if a few more people join [up],” explains Phillips. “Maybe me on a guitar or a kazoo. So far we’ve had a great response. We have a lot of fun doing what we do.”
