New Artist - Tourist

Who Are They?
Trying to find info on Tourist is a bit like going round in circles. You find out a little bit then get redirected somewhere else which tells you equally little. The bare bones are; He is Brighton based musician Will Philips who formally remixed under the name of 'Little Loud' before changing it to the un-google-searchable Tourist. Mr Philips has acquired himself 785 followers on soundcloud, 285 likes on facebook and 278 followers on twitter, just by releasing his synth-poppy, floaty, dream-like debut track 'Placid Acid' with its lovely use of morphed vocals and it's follow up 'Jupiter' which is similarly poppy and is like a ray of sunshine transporting you away from an otherwise gloomy day. From his twitter feed I can see he's been playing around London but until his debut EP comes out on March 12th there is little else I can say.

What They Say
Not a lot at the moment.

What Others Have Said
"This is a track consisting of summery melodies and sonic soundscapes that get you right in the mood for the illusive sunshine. Reminiscing of Yeasayer’s 80’s synth leads and M83’s synth rhythms, ‘Placid Acid’ melds together French pop and electro pop exquisitely – leaving the listener gasping for more." - Boost The Music
