Philip Thomas Barber writes haunting, alternative folk songs about depression, flawed relationships and the games people play.

He's been compared to Ben Howard and Passenger, although his influences include Arcade Fire, Kings Of Leon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Otis Redding, Rolling Stones and Joe Cocker.

He's recently moved from Leominster to Malvern and he's only recently put together Saint Alto.

"One of the most beautifully intricate sounds around with heartfelt lyrics delivered with a sea of passion" - Andrew Marston.
